Leinster Lightning won the 2014 Inter-Provincial Championship for the second successive year, finishing with three wins and draw from their four matches.[13] They also won the 50-over Inter-Provincial Cup, in which they won all four of their matches, but they finished as runners-up in the Twenty20 competition, with North-West Warriors winning the Inter-Provincial Trophy. North-West batsmen dominated the batting tables, as three of the four players to top 200 runs in the Championship; Craig Ervine scored the most, accruing 224.[14] A North-West player also topped the bowled charts, James Cameron-Dow, though the three next best bowlers all played for Leinster.[15]
The Irish Senior Cup and Alan Murray Twenty20 Cup finals were both contested between Clontarf and The Hills. The Hills finished as Senior Cup winners, claiming a nine-run victory, aided by half-centuries from Cormac McLoughlin and Michael Baumgart.[16] In the Twenty20 competition, Clontarf took a more comprehensive win, scoring 142 runs, including 60 from Andrew Poynter, and then bowling The Hills out for 95.[17]
