# Hogan Cup

The Hogan Cup (Irish: Corn Uí Ógáin), also known as the All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Senior A Football Championship, is the top level Gaelic football championship for secondary schools (sometimes referred to as colleges) in Ireland. The competition itself is regularly referred to by the trophy's name.
The current champions are St Patrick's College, Maghera, who won the cup for the sixth time by defeating St Colman's College in the final.
St Jarlath's College, Tuam hold the record number of titles, winning their twelfth in 2002, and have appeared as runners-up in a further fourteen finals.
The competition commenced in 1946 but was not played in the years 1949 to 1956. The cup is named after Brother Thomas Hogan. The Hogan Stand in Croke Park is named after his brother Michael Hogan. Since its beginning, there have been three different cups presented. The original cup was last presented in 1960, and now resides in St Jarlath's College. A newly designed cup was introduced in 1961. This cup itself was replaced in 2014 with a new design.
To increase participation the Colleges All-Ireland senior "B" championship was created in 1975, and a senior "C" championship commenced in 2000.
