How does it work?

  2. After registrations are closed, OHI will allocate schools into groups within their county, for Group Stage matches. Schools will then have until the 20th December to play of their Group Stage matches.

  3. Group Stage winners will progress to County Finals in January and February (organised by OHI).

  4. County winners then play in Provincial Finals, also organised by OHI. These matches usually take place in March.

  5. Provincial Final winners then qualify for the ALL-IRELAND finals that take place in April, when our champions are crowned! Finals are organised by OHI and this year, will be held at Gormanston College in Co. Meath.
