The Hodges Figgis Trophy was an All-Ireland Higher Education Gaelic Football Championship. The annual match was played between the Sigerson Cup champion and the Trench Cup Champion[1].
History
The Higges Figgis Trophy was presented in 1976 to the Comhairle Ard Oideachais (CAO), the Higher Education Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association, by Mr Allen Figgis of the Dublin educational supply company Hodges Figgis[2]. The trophy was a silver book mounted on a wooden base. The trophy was competed for between the winners of the Sigerson Cup and the Trench Cup and marked the culmination of the CAO's programme of Gaelic football championships within Third-Level institutions. It was widely seen among students as a battle between the universities (Sigerson Cup) and the non-university third-level institutions (Trench Cup). The Trench Cup was inaugurated in the 1975-76 season to cater for the third-level colleges which did not compete in the Sigerson Cup championship. The inaugural Hodges Figgis Cup match took place at Croke Park, Dublin in April 1976 between St Patrick's College, Maynooth (now NUI Maynooth, who beat University College Dublin in the Sigerson Cup final, and the National College of Physical Education, Limerick, who beat Coláiste Phádraig, Drumcondra in the inaugural Trench Cup final. Both teams were star-studded with county GAA players. N.C.P.E Limerick became the inaugural Hodges Figgis Trophy winners[3].
