Format
Historically the Collingwood Cup has been played as a straight knockout competition. It is currently played over one week in February, with all games hosted by one of the universities. However, in the past it has also been played using a group stage format. In 1971 the Collingwood Plate was introduced as a consolation tournament for teams knocked out in the early stages. In 2006, when the competition reverted to a straight knockout format, the Plate was replaced with three consolation cups. The Duggan Cup and the Spillane Cup each feature teams knocked out in the first round, while the Farquhar Cup, named after Anthony Farquhar, features the defeated quarter-finalists.[4][5][6]
In 2017, it was decided to play the first round of the 2018 competition in a week alternative to[clarification needed] the quarter-finals and onwards. It was also decided that the Farquhar Cup would be the sole subsidiary of the Collingwood Cup, with the Spillane Cup becoming the alternative to the Harding Cup for Fresher students, and the Duggan Cup associated with the Crowley Cup.

Dublin University
In 1947 and 1949 Dublin University shared the Collingwood Cup with QUB and UCD respectively. However the club would have to wait until 1967 before it won the Collingwood Cup outright for the first time. In the final at College Park they defeated QUB 1–0 with a penalty scored five minutes from the end. In 1979 with a team featuring Hugo MacNeill and coached by Liam Tuohy, Dublin University won the Collingwood Cup outright for a second time. MacNeill scored twice in the final as Dublin University defeated Maynooth University 2–0.[13][14][15][16]

Trophy
During the 1930s no trophy or cup was awarded to the winners, as the original cup that Bertram Collingwood had donated had disappeared towards the end of the 1920s. One legend claims that it was thrown into the River Boyne by a QUB team who were travelling south for a tournament they had no chance of winning. They had vowed that the trophy would never return south. Another legend claims that a landlady accepted the cup from a UCD captain in lieu of rent due to her. A new cup was donated in 1940 and was immediately named the Collingwood Cup. This cup remains in use today. The cup disappeared again in 1972 but turned up after three months in a Dublin hotel.[8][19]
