The 'Fitzgibbon Cup donated by The Rev Fr Edwin Fitzgibbon O.S.F.C. [Order of Saints Francis and Clare, a Franciscan religious order] for Inter-Collegiate Hurling competition. This photograph of the Cup dates from ca. 1912. The silver cup was made by Messrs William Egan & Sons, silversmiths, Cork, Ireland in February 1912. It is 24 inches in height. A detachable lid was lost in 1973 and never replaced. Old Celtic tracing designs are engraved around the edges of the trophy. The handles have open-mouthed creatures, probably fish. The cup was mounted on a mahogany plinth to which plaques with the names of the winning team were attached. Fitzgibbon family tradition places the cost of the trophy at £80. The Cup was the last Gaelic games trophy to be named after a living person
