Men's Irish Junior Cup (field hockey)

The Men's Irish Junior Cup is a knockout trophy played for field hockey clubs in Ireland.

The winners of the regional tournaments in Leinster, Munster, Ulster and at times Connacht would proceed through to semi-final matches.

After winning the marathon semi-final, the exhaustion of the Castlecomer team forced them to scratch from the Final that was due to be played on the Saturday afternoon.

After a few years of operating this system the competition was changed to a completely open draw.

Both teams are allowed a squad of 18 as long as you have two fully kitted goalkeepers and there is no extra time, a drawn match will be finalised with penalty strokes.
