The 2013 Dr. McKenna Cup is a Gaelic football competition played under the auspices of Ulster GAA. The tournament features the 2012 All-Ireland Champions, Donegal, whose first game (away against Fermanagh) was put back for several days due to Donegal's team holiday in Dubai.[1][2] Ahead of the tournament Queen's announced they were quitting in a controversy over their players being poached by other teams,[3][4][5] though Ulster Council President Aogan Farrell had appealed for this practice to stop.[6]
