Longford in Kehoe Cup & Shield

Kehoe Competition

The Kehoe Cup is an annual hurling competition organised by the Leinster Council since 1977 for second and third tier inter-county teams (Walsh Cup is for first-tier hurling teams). The Kehoe Shield was introduced alongside the Kehoe Cup in 2009 for teams who lost the first round of the Kehoe Cup. That Shield competition was not played from 2015 to 2018, and was revived in 2019 as a stand-alone competition for so-called weaker hurling counties.

Longford participated in the Kehoe Cup in 2003-2010 and 2014-2018 and in Kehoe Shield in 2009, 2010, 2014, 2019 & 2022. Longford did not compete in Kehoe competition in 2011, 2012 & 2013. From 2019 to 2022 Longford took part in the Kehoe Shield. There was no Kehoe Cup or Shield competition in 2020 & 2021 due to Covid-19. Longford did not complete in Kehoe Cup or Shield in 2023, instead entering the new Connacht Hurling League with Sligo, Mayo, Leitrim, Roscommon, Galway Development & New York.
