I see the interest in this competition is very low and rightly so. I think this competition could be repurposed as a third tier cup down the line. Let the oversea's team e.g. All British champions and USGAA enter at quarter/semi stage like NY in the Tailteann cup.
If anything I preferred it when it was county second string teams or pulled from counties junior clubs only. Dunno if it is a good use of resources bringing teams over from UK/USA for. Do not get me wrong, I am all for inclusiveness but I read the other day about how the GAA are playing 2nd/3rd tier competitions in Croke Park at a loss so eventually they will not be played there any more

Fair play to ya legendzxix for eye updates. Question: What's the format of this year's competition? Why is there a quarterfinal? How did Warwickshire and Kilkenny qualify for the competition?

Sorry, but that's drivel. If you look at the money generated from the UK and USA that has made its way into GAA coffers for many counties and the GAA at large, this small investment is a trickle. London and New York find themselves by and large, through sponsorship and fund raising like all counties.

Now if Leitrim want to join this competition with a Junior selection, I doubt there would be much resistance.
