History

It was only Tralee's second outing in this competition. However, the college created further history by winning the Sigerson three times in successive seasons to become the only RTC/Institute of Technology to do so in the competition's history. The Ladies football team also won the O'Connor Cup back to back in 1998 and 1999.
