Only just spotted this thread. The President's Cup is/was an LFA competition, so Leinster clubs only. It started out (in the 30s) as a knockout competition for the senior clubs in Leinster. From the mid 30s on it was usually played just as a one-off, but sometimes involved all the senior (League of Ireland) clubs. Usually in the 60s up to 72-3 it involved all the senior clubs. Since 73-4 (from my limited records) it seems to have been just a one off, but it's not been played at all a couple of times recently. Generally it's league champions v FAI Cup winners if both are from Leinster but obviously there has to be some flexibility if trophies go beyond the pale, somebody does the double, a club can't be arsed, etc.
