Minor club championships are held in each of the nine counties of Ulster. The nine county champions contest the Ulster Club Championship. All matches are knock-out.
The 2019 winners were Lavey of County Derry who defeated Termon of Donegal by 0–09 to 0–08 in the final on 1 January 2020.
The tournament is organised and hosted by St. Paul's GAC, Belfast. While unofficial, it is regarded as the Ulster Club Championship for club minor teams.[2] It began in 1982 and the Jimmy McConville cup has been presented since 1983.[3] The competition begins in late November or early December with the final taking place in January, typically on New Year's Day (e.g. the 2017 final took place on 1 January 2018).
