Cathal Brugha from Belfast won the Irish Water Polo Association U19 National Cup in 1997 by defeating North Dublin 11-2 in the Final. The Cup was hosted in Claremorris, Co. Mayo for the first time, and the home team claimed the first ever win by a Connacht team at this level in Water Polo with a 7-5 victory over Grads, also of Belfast, in their Final Group B match.
Marian, from Dublin, won a tightly contested Group A ahead of Dublin’s Glenalbyn and Belfast’s Clonard. Group B was a four team Group with winners Cathal Brugha and runners-up North Dublin qualifying for the Semi-Finals ahead of Claremorris and Grads. Group C saw two runaway wins for St. Vincent’s of Glasnevin in Dublin, qualifying ahead of Belfast’s Setanta and Galway’s Corrib.
The Knockout Rounds showed Cathal Brugha to be well-deserving victors with a 14-5 defeat of Marian in the Semi-Finals and an 11-2 triumph in the Final versus North Dublin. North Dublin had knocked out St. Vincent’s 7-5 in an all-Northside Dublin match in the other Semi-Final.

The Celtic League in Rugby Union underwent another name change in 2017 with the addition of two South African Provinces: Southern Kings and Cheetahs. Leinster won the Championship in 2017-18 and again in 2018-19, and were well out in front in 2019-20 after winning all of their first 13 games before the COVID-19 virus outbreak caused the cancellation of the rest of the season. The Pro 14 returned to play in 2020-21 with the temporary absence of the South African Provinces. Leinster defeated Munster 16-6 in the Final series to continue their dominance of the Pro 14

14 Clubs from across five Nations: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa compete for the Guinness Pro14 Rugby Championship. The Leagues Origins lie in the formation of a competition for Welsh and Scottish clubs, which in 2001 became the Celtic League after the addition of the four Irish Provinces. In 2010 the Competition added two Italian Clubs to bring the number of countries involved to four, reflected in the name change to Pro12 in later seasons. In what was an historic move in 2017, the Competition became the most diverse yet, with the addition of two South African Provinces, becoming a Cross-Hemisphere Competition for the first time.
