The competition, organised by the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]], was played during the summer months, with the final being played in August at [[Croke Park]]. The Cup was named after [[Tommy Murphy (Gaelic footballer)|Tommy Murphy]], a footballer from [[County Laois]] who was, appropriately for the competition, the only member of the [[Gaelic football#Team of the Millennium|Team of the Millennium]] from a county which had not won an All-Ireland.

Later changes to the [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]] meant that the [[2008 Tommy Murphy Cup]] featured the eight lowest-ranking teams in [[National Football League (Ireland)|National Football League]], unless the teams reached the final of their respective provincial championships. [[Antrim county football team|Antrim]] defeated the holder [[Wicklow county football team|Wicklow]] in the final.<ref>[http://www.gaa.ie/plugins/newsfeed.cgi?rm=content&plugin_data_id=15367 News | Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Official Website - GAA.ie] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926224857/http://www.gaa.ie/plugins/newsfeed.cgi?rm=content&plugin_data_id=15367 |date=2007-09-26 }}</ref> The cup was cancelled after the 2008 tournament.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=111393|title=Dempsey: Bring back Murphy Cup|date=12 May 2009|accessdate=12 May 2009}}</ref>

==Format== The Tommy Murphy Cup was a [[single elimination tournament]]. Each team was afforded only one defeat before being eliminated from the championship. Pairings for matches were drawn at random and there was no seeding. Each match was played as a single leg. If a match was drawn there was a period of extra time; however, if both sides were still level at the end of extra time, a replay took place, and so on until a winner was found.
