In 2006–07 the IUFU, in conjunction with the CFAI, established the Umbro sponsored Colleges and Universities Football League.

On Sunday, 22 February 2015, UU Jordanstown were due to play UCD in the first round of the Collingwood Cup.

UUJ were banned because they planned to field players from Magee College in the team.

Ulster University wanted to enter a single team featuring players from three campuses – Coleraine, Jordanstown and Magee.

However, they were informed by IUFU that it was against Collingwood Cup rules to select players from more than one campus.
