2018 was the first minor competition for under 17 year-olds – previously the competition had an under 18 age limit. The under 17 championship with a new format was introduced after a vote at the GAA Congress on 26 February 2016.

A league format is followed in Connacht and Leinster. Munster introduced a double league format in 2019 with the winners of an initial Phase 1 league containing weaker teams advancing to a Phase 2 league where they play in a 3 team league with Cork and Kerry. Ulster still plays a knockout championship.

The winners will receive the Tom Markham Cup.

Teams

Thirty-two teams from Ireland contested the championship. New York and London did not participate in this competition.

Ulster Format

In 2018 the Ulster Championship changed to a double-elimination format, which replaced the straight knockout style of previous years. Every team who lost a match before the semi-finals re-entered the competition via the Qualifiers Round 1 (R1), Qualifiers Round 2 (R2) or Qualifiers Round 3 (R3). This ensured that all teams played at least two games.[4] The semi-finals and final were knockout.

The winners received the Father Murray Cup.
