O'Byrne Competition
The O’Byrne Cup is a Gaelic football tournament organised by the Leinster Council since 1954. The competition started as the Matt Byrne Memorial Cup (Accident Fund) with proceeds going to an injury fund for players. The name was shortened to Byrne Cup and eventually became the O’Byrne Cup (even though Matt Byrne never spelled his surname as O’Byrne). The O’Byrne Shield competition was added in 2006 for teams who lost the first round of the O’Byrne Cup. The Shield competition was discontinued when the O’Byrne Cup changed to a round-robin format from 2013.
Longford won the O’Byrne Cup four times (1965, 2000, 2020 & 2023) and was runner-up six times (1961, 1963, 1983, 2003, 2008, 2016). By 2023 the competition included eleven Leinster county teams (excluding Kilkenny). In the past some third-level institutions competed, but since 2018 only county teams compete. There was no competition in 1969, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1979, 1984, 1985 or 2021 and Longford did not compete in 1974 & 1976.
Longford played 138 games in O’Byrne Cup & Shield from 1954 to 2023, Won 68 (49%), Drew 4 (3%) and Lost 66 (48%). Longford’s top 3 most frequent opponents are Meath (P22/W6/D2/L14), Westmeath (P19/W5/L14) and Offaly (P17/W9/L8). Longford has played every other Leinster county and six third level teams in O’Byrne competition, with most wins over Offaly (9) and most losses to Meath & Westmeath (14 each).
