The winners represent Connacht in the All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship semi-finals.

The J.J Fahy Cup which is presented to the winning team is named in memory of the late J.J. Fahy who held the position of Connacht Council Treasurer from 1935 to 1972 and the position of Connacht Council Secretary from 1969 to 1974.
