The Munster jurisdiction covers counties the traditional Irish provinces of Munster and Connacht in the Republic of Ireland. The Union was founded in the 1950s.[2] In 2005, there were 21 clubs fielding 32 teams affiliated to the union.[3] It organises the Munster Senior League and Munster Senior Cup.
