The 2019 Dr. McKenna Cup, known for sponsorship reasons as the Bank of Ireland Dr. McKenna Cup, will be a gaelic football competition in the province of Ulster for county and university teams, which will be held at the beginning of the GAA season.

Twelve teams take part – the nine Ulster county teams and three university teams, i.e. St Mary's University College, Belfast, Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University at Jordanstown (UUJ).

The draw will take place on 5 December 2018[2] with the fixtures confirmed following a meeting of Comhairle Uladh CCC later in the month.

Donegal are the reigning champions having defeated Tyrone in the 2018 decider.[3]

Format

Group Stage

The twelve teams are drawn into three sections of four teams, with each section containing three county teams and one university team. Each team plays the other teams in its section once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. The points-ratio method (points for divided by points against) is used to determine the ranking of teams who are level on section points (as opposed to scoring differential).[4]

Knock-out Stage

The winners of the three sections and the best runner-up compete in the semi-finals with the two winners meeting in the final.
