The Ulster Minor Club Football Championship (Irish: Comórtas Pheil Mhionúr Chumann Uladh; sometimes known as the St. Paul's Tournament and for sponsorship reasons as the Northern Bank Ulster Minor Club Football Tournament[2]) is an annual Gaelic football tournament played between the hundreds of minor football clubs in Ulster. There are nine county championships between the nine counties of Ulster. The nine winners go on to play each other in the Ulster Club Championship in a knock-out format. The current holders of the Ulster Minor title are Lámh Dhearg GAC from Belfast. The tournament is organised and hosted by the St. Paul's, from Belfast. While unofficial, it is regarded as the Ulster Club Championship for Minor teams.[2] The winners are presented with the Jim McConville Cup.[3] The competition has been running since 1982. The cup has been presented since 1983.[3] The competition is usually played in November and December, with the final taking place in January, typically on New Year's Day (i.e. the 2008 final took place on 1 January 2009).
