The final, usually held in February, serves as the culmination of a series of games played between October and January. Eligible players must be under the age of 19.

The Dr. Harty Cup is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Colleges Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Dr. Harty Cup final, like their counterparts in the Connacht and Leinster Championships, advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals or semi-finals.

Sixteen teams currently participate in the Dr. Harty Cup. The championship begins with a round-robin group stage, followed by a knock-out stage for the top eight teams.

The title has been won at least once by 18 different schools, 12 of which have won the title more than once. The all-time record-holders are St. Flannan's College, who have won the competition 21 times.

St. Flannan's College are the current (2020) champions.

Current format

Tournament

The tournament begins with a group stage of 16 teams, divided into four groups. Each team meets the others in its group once in a round-robin format. The winning team and the runners-up from each group then progress to the quarter-finals. For this stage, the winning team from one group plays against the runners-up from another group.

Qualification for the All-Ireland Championship

As of 2005, the winners and runners up of the Dr. Harty Cup qualify for the All-Ireland Colleges Championship. The runners-up qualify for the quarter-finals, while on some occasions the champions receive a bye to the semi-final stage, however, this is done in rotation with the Connacht and Leinster champions.

Trophy

The winning team is presented with the Dr. Harty Cup, which is similar in design to the Liam MacCarthy Cup. It is held by the winning team until the following year's final. Traditionally, the presentation is made at a special rostrum in the stand where GAA dignitaries and special guests view the match.

The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team. During the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. The winning captain accepts the cup on behalf of his team before giving a short speech. Individual members of the winning team then have an opportunity to come to the rostrum to lift the cup.

The Dr. Harty Cup is named after the former GAA patron Archbishop Dr. John Mary Harty who served as Archbishop of Cashel and Emly from 1913 until his death in 1946.[1]
