The All-Ireland Highpointeering Counties League


Does your county have what it takes to be Ireland's top Highpointeering team? If so, we are delighted to offer you that chance. The All-Ireland Highpointeering Counties League is a unique outdoor sports competition based on the official Irish High Points list. The League is open to hillwalkers who visit High Point locations throughout Ireland. To take part, individuals must log their visits while present on site and register them with us via our online form no later than 30th September.

Established in 2017, our Counties League is the first-ever All-Ireland sport hillwalking team competition to be contested between Ireland's thirty-two counties. Every Irish rambler, hillwalker, hiker and mountaineer qualifies as a member of his / her county's sport hillwalking team. 
 

Take part


To take part in the All-Ireland Highpointeering Counties League, hillwalkers must participate in the All-Ireland Highpointeering Individuals League competition. This initiative requires participants to visit High Point locations throughout Ireland, log them using the Peakhunter smartphone app, and register them with us via the Highpointeer Score Form hosted on our website.


  • ​Take part in the All-Ireland Highpointeering Individuals League (click here for participation instructions).
  • Tell us which county you are representing by selecting the relevant option in the Highpointeer Score Form.


​Every individual hillwalker who also takes part in the All-Ireland Mountain Race as well as the Highpointeering Leagues (and submits the relevant online forms for each) during the same sport hillwalking season is automatically entered into the All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships for that year. Hillwalkers who only take part in one of the two competitions will not qualify for that year's Individuals Championship but their efforts can still help to boost their club's, county's and province's chances in the team championships.

Winner selection


The three walking counties which accumulate the highest point-scores during the sport hillwalking season will secure the top three placings in that year's All-Ireland Highpointeering Counties League competition. The selection process is as follows:

  • All submitted Highpointeer Score Forms are automatically added to a secure spreadsheet.
  • Each completed Highpointeer Score Form received is manually checked and verified.
  • After the submissions deadline (30th September), the final version of the spreadsheet containing all verified Highpointeer Score Forms received during the year is interrogated and the five highest-scoring entrants from each county are identified.
  • Each county's overall score is tallied and the three highest-scoring counties are identified.​
  • The three counties with the highest scores are announced in October.
