The North-South Cup was a short-lived all-Ireland football tournament. It was played for two seasons in the 1960s and on both occasions won by teams from Northern Ireland.[1]
The 1960-61 competition was played to the semi-final stage, however due to fixture congestion the final had to be held over to the following season. Similarly the 1961-62 competition could not be finished in time, the first round and part of the second round were played during the season, however the rest was completed during the 1962–63 season.[2]
