Collingwood Cup

Collingwood Cup is the main soccer competition competed for by teams from the Irish universities. The Collingwood was donated by Bertram James Collingwood O.B.E., MD., professor of physiology in University College Dublin (UCD) and nephew of Charles Dodgson (also known as Lewis Carroll of Alice in Wonderland fame)., UCD won the inaugural Intervarsities competition, the Collingwood Cup, in 1914. It is run by the Irish Universities Football Union which is part of the Colleges and Universities Sports Association. The original trophy was lost in the 1930s and replaced in 1939 by the president and vice-president of University College Dublin A.F.C..

It is an All-Ireland competition with sides from universities in the North and Republic participating. The competition was not run during the First World War, and during 1933–34 due to a dispute between the Irish Football Association (IFA) and Football Association of Ireland (FAI). UCD are the 2010 champions.
