The MacRory cup is an inter-college (as in school) Gaelic football tournament in Ulster. It is staged every year with the stipulation that players must be under eighteen-and-a-half at the start of the tournament (that is, be under eighteen at the start of the school year).

The tournament has a long, and prestigious history, from when it started in 1925. Many of the biggest names in Ulster Football graduated from playing for their school in the MacRory Cup, such as Stephen O'Neill for CBS Omagh and Oisin McConville for St Patrick's Grammar School Armagh.

The competition begins with a round-robin tournament consisting of groups of four teams, and the top two from each group go through to the knockout stages.

The final is held every year on St. Patrick's Day, and along with the Ulster colleges Rugby final, is televised live on BBC Northern Ireland, although this year (2007) it will be played on Monday the 19th. The venue for the last number of years has been Casement Park in Belfast.

Martin Clarke of Australian Rules side Collingwood produced a number of memorable displays captaining his school St.Louis, Kilkeel in both 2005 and 2006.

The current holders are St. Patrick's Academy, Dungannon beating St. Michael's College, Enniskillen
