 * Keep Did you even bother to read article before, nominating for deletion. I doubt you could have judging by speed of the nomination. University football in England may not be notable but in Ireland university football and sport are notable. Several clubs/teams compete in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland football league systems. In addition they also compete in national cup competitions. UCD A.F.C. have also represented Ireland in European competition and won the FAI Cup. UCC A.F.C. have played in the 2015 League of Ireland Cup. The Collingwood Cup is one of the oldest soccer competitions in Ireland and is the oldest all Ireland soccer competition. The 2014 Collingwood Cup was broadcast live on Setanta Sport. The Collingwood Cup receives good coverage from Irish national press and media (see links to articles from and Irish Times/BBC. A Google search reveals 5,370 hits. Two similar articles Sigerson Cup and Fitzgibbon Cup also exist. Over twenty Wikipedia articles already mention the Collingwood Cup DjlnDjln (talk) 21:53, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
