The '''FAI Super Cup''' is a defunct [[football (soccer)|football]] tournament which was played for 4 years between 1998 and 2001. It was played before the [[League of Ireland]] season began, usually in July. The first 3 tournaments consisted of two semi finals, with the losers playing off for 3rd place and the winners going through to the final, the last year in 2001 consisted of a single [[round-robin tournament|round robin]] group with the winners awarded the title. Teams qualified for the Super Cup on the basis of playing in that year's [[UEFA]] competitions.

The '''FAI Super Cup''' was an association football [[super cup]] featuring clubs from the [[Republic of Ireland football league system|Republic of Ireland]]. It was played for between [[1998–99 League of Ireland|1998]] and [[2001–02 League of Ireland|2001]]. It was a pre-season tournament played in the summer before the regular [[League of Ireland]] season began. The same four clubs that qualified to represent the Republic of Ireland in [[UEFA competitions]] also qualified for the Super Cup. League of Ireland clubs had previously played in a similar competition known as the [[Top Four Cup]]. A similar competition, the [[LFA President's Cup]], co-existed with the FAI Super Cup. Since [[2014 President of Ireland's Cup|2014]] the FAI has organised a new super cup, the [[President of Ireland's Cup|President's Cup]].

The first three tournaments were played as a [[single-elimination tournament]], featuring two semi-finals, a third place play-off and a final. The 2001 tournament featured a single [[round-robin tournament|round robin]] group with the group winners being awarded the cup.<ref name="lfaprescup">{{cite web|url=https://leagueofirelandhistory.wordpress.com/tag/lfa-presidents-cup/|title=LFA President's Cup|publisher=leagueofirelandhistory.wordpress.com|access-date=5 October 2016|date=2 March 2014}}</ref>

==History==
In 1998 the [[Football Association of Ireland|FAI]] announce their plans to establish a [[super cup]]. It was to be played during the summer and it was intended to act as a warm up and provide the clubs involved in [[UEFA competitions|Europe]] with some competitive games. However the [[UEFA Intertoto Cup]] representatives had already played their tie before the FAI Super Cup kicked off. [[Shamrock Rovers F.C.|Shamrock Rovers]], [[St Patrick's Athletic F.C.|St Patrick's Athletic]], [[University College Dublin A.F.C.|UCD]] and [[Shelbourne F.C.|Shelbourne]] all won one tournament each.<ref name="independentie">{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/fai-plans-to-revamp-league-26187443.html|title=FAI plans to revamp League|work=The Irish Independent|access-date=8 October 2016|date=20 May 1998}}</ref><ref name="lfaprescup"/>

The FAI Super Cup was an association football super cup featuring clubs from the Republic of Ireland. It was played for between 1998 and 2001. It was a pre-season tournament played in the summer before the regular League of Ireland season began. The same four clubs that qualified to represent the Republic of Ireland in UEFA competitions also qualified for the Super Cup. League of Ireland clubs had previously played in a similar competition known as the Top Four Cup. A similar competition, the LFA President's Cup, co-existed with the FAI Super Cup. Since 2014 the FAI has organised a new super cup, the President's Cup.

Format

[edit]

The first three tournaments were played as a single-elimination tournament, featuring two semi-finals, a third place play-off and a final. The 2001 tournament featured a single round robin group with the group winners being awarded the cup.[1]

History

[edit]

In 1998 the FAI announce their plans to establish a super cup. It was to be played during the summer and it was intended to act as a warm up and provide the clubs involved in Europe with some competitive games. However the UEFA Intertoto Cup representatives had already played their tie before the FAI Super Cup kicked off. Shamrock Rovers, St Patrick's Athletic, UCD and Shelbourne all won one tournament each.[2][1]
