The Northern Ireland representatives for this year’s event are Our Lady and St Patrick's College Knock and previous winners in 2011 St Columbs College, Londonderry. The representatives from Northern Ireland are joined by Barnfield West Academy from England, Calasanctius College from the Republic of Ireland, St. Telio’s Wales and Braidhurst High School Scotland all vying to win the Allen McKinstry Cup.
Gary Kennedy, Chairman of the NISFA said “We are excited to host the Allen McKinstry Cup showcasing the talent of schools football across the British Isles. As it is only the second time that Northern Ireland has hosted the competition I would encourage schools and fans to attend and support the competitors.”
The competition will consist of two games in a league style format with the teams and fixtures being shown below. Admission to all matches is free of charge and the Northern Ireland Schools Football Association encourages everyone to come along and support the teams during the competition.
