Leinster Boys Ready for Interprovincial Challenge in Cork
August 20, 2026
The Boys Interprovincial Tournament gets underway this weekend at Garyduff, Cork, with the Leinster U16 and U18 Boys teams ready to compete for Interprovincial honours.
After months of hard work, preparation and development throughout the programme, both teams are looking forward to putting everything they have worked on into action as they take on the other provinces.
The U16 tournament will see Leinster face Munster and Ulster twice across the weekend, while the U18 Boys will battle it out with Munster across three games as they look to claim the Interprovincial title.
Leinster U16 Boys
Leinster U16 will begin their tournament on Friday at 2:00pm, facing Munster on the Bottom Pitch.
Saturday will see Leinster take on Munster again at 12:00pm on the Green Pitch, before facing Ulster at 4:00pm, also on the Green Pitch.
The U16s will conclude their tournament on Sunday at 2:00pm, when they face Ulster on the Green Pitch in what promises to be another exciting encounter.
We would like to wish all the players, staff and supporters the very best of luck ahead of the tournament. There will be plenty of coverage and daily updates across our social media channels throughout the weekend.
