Ryan Cup
The Ryan Cup is the tier 2 hurling championship for third level colleges, the Fitzgibbon Cup being the tier 1 hurling championship trophy. The Ryan Cup competition is administered by Comhairle Ard Oideachais Cumann Lúthchleas Gael (CLG), the GAA's Higher Education Council.
At some time either in the late 1980s or in the early 1990s, the Ryan Cup - the trophy for the Division 1 Gaelic football league - was presented to the winners of what was then the Division II Championship (non-university). As a result of this mix-up, the Division II Championship became colloquially known as the 'Ryan Cup'. Unfortunately several other GAA trophy competitions bear this name, including still the Higher Education First-Division football league.
The GAA Higher Education Cup Championships are sponsored by Electric Ireland. The Ryan Cup was previously sponsored by Independent.ie [2014-2017], Irish Daily Mail [2012-2013], Ulster Bank [2007-2011], Datapac [2003-2006] and Bus Éireann [1998-2002].
Qualifiers: Galway-Mayo IT; Ulster University
Qualifiers: Institute of Technology Tralee; Athlone IT
