We invite you to #StepUpForYourCounty in the High Point Ireland Counties League. Established in 2017, our Counties League is the first-ever All-Ireland Highpointeering team competition to be contested between Ireland's thirty-two counties. Every Irish rambler, hillwalker, hiker, mountaineer and mountain runner qualifies as a member of his / her county's Highpointeering team. Each team member wishing to represent their county in the Counties League can do so by visiting High Point locations during the High Point Ireland league year (1st January - 31st December), logging them on the Peakhunter smartphone app and in their own Highpointeer Logsheet & Entry Form, and emailing the completed Highpointeer Logsheet & Entry Form to us no later than 31st December at the end of that league year. During the following January, the ten highest point-scorers from each county's team will officially become that county's "Elite Ten". Those ten scores added together will become the county's overall score. The county with the highest points score will be announced as the High Point Ireland Counties League champion.
