So as things stand. New York will compete in the Rackard Cup next year. New York will enter a semi final against the Rackard group runner up. If New York lose the semi final, they will play the 6th placed team in a relegation playoff. It is understandable that if New York lose the playoff - they will drop back to Meagher. If the 6th placed team beats them however - it isn't entirely clear what their incentive is. The Rackard Cup can only have 6 group teams. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8886 - 01/06/2025 15:29:44 2614012 Link 1 |

They could extend it to 7 or 8 if they wanted to. Nothing is set in stone. We might send over a second US team next year. The Middle East might send one from Dubai, and Singapore could send one from Asia, and Darwin or Sydney a team from Down Under. These are areas that have strong hurling teams. As for NY, we'd definitely fancy our chances against the Kingdom. Sure, weren't you relegated this year? Bring it on!

One of the best of them, I hear. I wasn't at the game at all myself.

New York had a 6 point win over Cavan, one of the lowest ranks hurling teams in Ireland. Hardly spectacular. New York had a lot of very very average hurlers in that final, so they are definitely never going to play in the Joe Mc Donagh Cup, they could possibly get up to Christy Ring eventually if they have a good run in the Nicky Rackard cup. Kerry are in the Christy Ring cup in 2026, so New York can't play them next year. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 952 - 03/06/2025 09:35:31 2614475 Link 0 |

Yes, and the Wexford lads complain when a game is on in Thurles and not Nowlan Park. In my time I've seen teams from Darwin in Northwestern Australia and from Dubai and Abu Dhabi FLY thousands of miles to places like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Shanghai, or Seoul for a weekend of Gaelic Games at the Annual Asian Games (AGGs). There was an Aussie guy who lived in Kabul who would year in, year out, first fly down to Dubai and then on with the Dubai lads to one of these venues in Asia. That's dedication! Personally, I don't travel to the games as much anymore. I flew to Dublin for Limerick's 3-in-a-row in 2022. I was offered a ticket for Sunday's Munster Final if I were coming to Ireland. That I am not attending is not a money or distance issue. I'm not going to be there due to work commitments. But why should I take a ticket from a fan who has been going to the games all year? Don't get me wrong, I would take it, but I don't think that a system that allows it to happen is right. Sometimes we can live with not right, though. foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 2281 - 04/06/2025 15:25:48 2614887 Link 0 |
