Report

The St. Brendan’s Cup Finals were held in Hurling and Football between New York and the National League winners between 1954 and 1960. The Finals were named after St. brendan who according to Irish Legend sailed of the West Coast of Ireland to discover land far to the West, before Columbus or the Vikings.

New York beat Wexford in the 1958 Hurling Final by 17 Pts to 16, but all other winners were from Ireland, with Tipperary winning four of the Finals, and Cork the first in 1954.
