The 2026 McGrath Cup is an inter-county Gaelic football competition in the province of Munster, played by all six county teams in January 2026.[1][2]
Kerry player Joe O'Connor was opposed to the McGrath Cup taking place.[3] Munster GAA ignored this and the fixtures were announced in November 2025, with the competition commencing on 2 January.[4] Cork were the winners, defeating Kerry in Fitzgerald Stadium for the first time in 30 years.[5][6]
