Following a recent meeting of the Student Sport Ireland Clubs and Competitions Committee, it has been decided that this years Student Sport Ireland / Irish Rugby Football Union Cup titles will be shared between all the finalists who had secured their final spots in March. This decision is in line with all IRFU Cup competitions taken on March 19th.

This decision was taken in light of the continued restrictions on sport due to Covid-19 and a majority of students will have finished their studies by the time the return to play is given. All points for the SSI Sports College of the Year will be split between the winners on the overall leader board.
