The Frewen Cup is an annual inter-schools hurling competition organised by the Munster PPS division of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). Sometimes referred to throughout its history as the Munster Colleges Junior Football Championship or the Munster PPS Under-17 A Football Championship, it has been contested since 1936. [1]

Contents

The final, typically held in November, serves as the culmination of a knockout series of games played between October and November. Eligible players must be under the age of 17. [2]

As of 2025, 8 teams participate in the Frewen Cup. [3] The title has been won at least once by 22 different schools, 13 of which have won the title more than once. [4] Coláiste Chríost Rí are the all-time title record-holders with 16 titles. [5]

St Brendan's College are the 2025 champions, having beaten Clonakilty Community College by 2-13 to 0-11 in the final. [6]

History

Since 1927, the Munster Cup had been organised by the Munster Colleges Council and contested as a provincial senior Gaelic football competition. [7] Following the establishment of a provincial junior hurling competition for players under the age of 16 at the annual Munster Colleges Council convention in February 1936, it was later decided to establish a similar competition for Gaelic football. [8] The Fr Lee Cup was the prize for the inaugural competition, before the Frewen Cup was first presented in 1937 and named in honour of Robert J. Frewen. [9] Dingle CBS were the first champions after a 3–07 to 2–00 defeat of Thurles CBS in the inaugural final in May 1936. [10]
