Leinster Senior Cup 2019/20

In 2016, the Preliminary & 1st Rounds comprised ten junior league winners and the FAI Junior Cup winners. The four teams emerging were joined by the top two AUL clubs for the 2nd Round, and the winners then faced the top five LSL teams before the 12 League of Ireland teams from Leinster entered the 4th Round.
The 2019/20 arrangements appeared to be similar.

The first two rounds go to Extra Time & Penalties if necessary (i.e. no replays)

The Third Round draw was announced on 27 Jan, but none of the games appear to have been fixed prior to the pandemic lockdown. It seemed unlikely that the competition would be completed, and it was eventually quietly abandoned.

The competition is the only one to suffer abandonment twice because of infectious diseases, the first time in 2000 (Foot and Mouth Disease).
