What are the High Point Ireland Leagues?


Established in 2017 as the first-ever All-Ireland Highpointeering team competitions, the High Point Ireland Leagues give ramblers, hillwalkers, hikers, mountaineers and mountain runners a unique opportunity to represent their home county / province as sportsmen and sportswomen. These High Point Ireland community leagues are linked to our Highpointeer of the Year awards competition, through which participants enter as individuals. At the end of the High Point Ireland awards year, the top five point-scoring individual entrants from each county / province will become the "High 5" team whose combined points will become the overall score for their county / province. The aim of the leagues is for competitive Highpointeers to collectively “bag” High Points in the hope of claiming an All-Ireland title for their county / province.

Step up for your County
#StepUpForYourCounty


We invite you to #StepUpForYourCounty in the High Point Ireland Counties League - 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 those visits on the Peakhunter smartphone app AND via our online Highpointeer Score Form no later than 31st December at the end of that league year. During the following January, the five highest point-scorers from each county's team will officially become that county's "High 5". Those five 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.

Use our affiliate links


All of our Sport Hillwalking initiatives are 100% free for you to take part in. However, please note that we do have significant operational costs which we cover on a voluntary basis ourselves. The long-term development strategy for High Point Ireland, Sport Hillwalking and our growing family of independent Irish information websites will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. To help us speed things along, we'd be most grateful if you would consider using the affiliate links we have set up on The Ireland Travel Guide website to buy your outdoor gear and book accommodation / transport online in the future. Using these links will not affect the price you pay at checkout. However, each purchase / booking you make could send a small commission our way at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake, this is certainly not a get-rich-quick effort, but rather a very slow drip-feed of pennies and cents to partially cover the time, effort and money we continue to invest in our range of independent projects. Thank you for your support.
