The Gerry Reilly Memorial under-16 Inter-County Football Tournament is an annual Gaelic football competition in the province of Leinster in Ireland. The tournament was started in 1989, named after a young Gaelic footballer Gerry Reilly who was killed in December 1987 at sixteen years of age.
The cup is run on a 'round robin' basis. In other words, each team plays each other and the two top teams progress to the final. Four counties participated in the 2007 tournament, Kildare, Westmeath, Dublin and Meath and formerly Cavan. The 2007 final was contested by both Meath and Dublin.
Dublin were the 2006 champions having defeated Westmeath 4–13 to 1–8 in the decider in Gilson Park, Oldcastle, County Meath. In 2007, Meath prevented Dublin from retaining the title by defeating them by 4–09 to 0–12 at Oldcastle.
