IrelandDating back to 1909, the Munster Schools Senior Cup is one of the most prestigious and historic schoolboy rugby competitions in Ireland. Organised by the Munster Branch of the IRFU, the tournament features the leading rugby schools from across the province, including powerhouses such as Presentation Brothers College (Cork), Christian Brothers College (Cork), Rockwell College, and Crescent College Comprehensive.
Played each spring, the competition follows a knockout format culminating in a fiercely contested final at Musgrave Park or Thomond Park, often in front of thousands of supporters. The rivalry between Cork’s CBC and PBC has become one of the defining features of the Cup, producing generations of elite players and some of the most memorable moments in Irish schools rugby.
Renowned for its intensity, skill level, and deep tradition, the Munster Schools Senior Cup continues to serve as a vital pathway for future professional and international players, reinforcing Munster’s proud rugby culture and legacy.
