Kehoe Competition
The Kehoe Cup is a stand-alone hurling tournament organised by the Leinster Council since 1977 and involving Tier 2 and Tier 3 inter-county hurling teams (Walsh Cup is for Tier 1 hurling teams). The Kehoe Shield was introduced alongside the Kehoe Cup in 2009 as a secondary competition for teams who lost the first round of the Kehoe Cup. The Shield was not held from 2015 to 2018, and was revived in 2019 as a separate competition from the Kehoe Cup, specifically for weaker teams.
