Counties Championship is the ultimate outdoor sports competition contested in the Irish uplands. It is free to enter and is open to all experienced hillwalkers.

Winner selection


The following process is used to decide all county team placings in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Counties Championship:
  1. All submitted Championship Entry Forms are checked in early November.
  2. Each competitor's overall individual score is tallied (i.e. Rounds 1 - 8 combined).
  3. Competitors are sorted into the counties they are representing.
  4. Each county represented by 2 or more of individuals qualifies as a team in the All-Ireland Hillwalking Counties Championship.
  5. The 5 highest individual scores from each county are added together to become that county's official team score.
  6. If a county team has 2 - 4 members, each of the 1 - 3 empty slots equates to an individual score of zero.
  7. Counties are placed in order according to their overall team score, from the highest-scoring county to the lowest.
  8. The highest-scoring county team is the Champion.
  9. We aim to announce a full set of results across all categories in mid-November.
