The 2019 O'Byrne Cup was played by county teams of Leinster GAA in December 2018 and January 2019. [1]
The draw took place on 26 September 2018. [2]
Several new rules are being trialled in the competition:
One team (Dublin) received a bye to the semi-finals. The remaining ten teams were drawn to play in one group of four teams and two groups of three teams.
In the four-team group, each team plays the other teams in their group once. Two points are awarded for a win and one for a draw.
In the two three-team groups, each team played the other teams in their group once. Each team also played one game against a team from the other three-team group. Two points are awarded for a win and one for a draw.
The three group winners advanced to the semi-finals.
