Munster Senior League (rugby union)

The Munster Senior League was a Rugby union competition for senior clubs in Munster.

History

It was first competed for in 1902-03.[1]

Format

Unlike the Munster Senior Cup which is knock-out, the league format means that teams play a number of different games, with the most successful qualifying for the play-offs.

Decline

With the establishment of the All-Ireland League in 1991 the competition declined rapidly, and no longer was contested with the same intensity as previously existed.

gollark: Why not?
gollark: You could probably put it on a USB stick and install it from that somehow.
gollark: But if you don't constantly have an internet connection to verify your license, you might use it with an expired subscription or something, which is pure evil and must be avoided at all costs.
