Yes that is true afaik it was €6000 because of the flares against Dundalk bringing fines for the season to over 10k
That's a mad amount of money for a loi club

I think the prize fund is €50k for winning the FAI Cup. This was a new arrangement afaik when the finals switched to the Aviva. Previously it was the clubs who got involved directly, and some made a loss on the final. The fai take direct control now so regardless of the attendance the winners get €50k, not sure what the runners up get, prob €20k?

For the league, I think Dundalk pick up €115k, an increase from the 100k on offer for previous seasons. For the runners up, I'm not sure, might be 50-60k, but the real money is entrance to the CL and the route following that if you get get past a few rounds.

It's mental to think Dundalk's draw away to AZ was worth more in a bonus payment (140k) that winning the league over 33 games, or almost 3 times the money for winning the cup.

I don't think it's anywhere near 50k for the winners. Stand to be corrected, but there's €121,000 prize money between FAI Cup, League Cup and Fair Play league. I can't see how 50k of that would go to the FAI Cup winners alone.

League winners get €110k. Draw in the EL Group stage is worth €120k, win €360k, unless they have made changes in recent weeks.

it is exactly 50k for winning the FAI Cup

50k for the Cup winners, ~25k for runners-up leaves about 50k for EA Sports Cup + fair play together. Sounds about right.

Yep, I stand corrected, 110k for the league, 120k not 140k for a draw in EL group. 360k also correct per win.

Its def 50k though for the FAI Cup.
