Each team will play a minimum of 5 games through a programme that is structured on the basis of Group Stages, Preliminaries and Play Offs. The Group Stages will consist of 7 Groups of teams selected on a geographical and developmental basis. Matches at the Group Stages will be played on Wednesdays. After the Group Stages, teams will be graded on foot of their performance and will be assigned to 1 of 5 Divisions prior to participating in the Preliminaries and Play-Offs where they will play against opposition of a comparative developmental level. 5 Finals will be played on Saturday June 18th, 2016 in Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.
