Original Glynn Cup Format
The Glynn Cup originated as a tribute to the contribution to rugby in Galway, Connacht and Ireland by Galwegians Johnny Glynn (see History article). It was held on St Patricks Day from 1959-1996 as a match between the club 1st XVs.
The Cup was won 16 times by Galwegians and 21 times by Corinthians in this format.
