The Ryan Cup is the Division II hurling championship for third level colleges, the Fitzgibbon Cup being the Division I hurling championship trophy. The Ryan Cup competition is administered by Comhairle Ard Oideachais Cumann Lúthchleas Gael (CLG), the GAA's Higher Education Council. At some time either in the late 1980s or in the early 1990s, the Ryan Cup - the trophy for the Division 1 gaelic football league - was presented to the winners of what was then the Division II Championship (non-university). As a result of this mix-up, the Division II Championship became colloquially known as the 'Ryan Cup'. Unfortunately several other GAA trophy competitions bear this name, including still the Higher Education First-Division football league. The GAA Higher Education Cup Championships are sponsored by the Independent.ie. Prior sponsors include the Irish Daily Mail, Datapac, Ulster Bank and Bus Éireann.
