About the tournament

From 1923 through 2018, the West of Ireland was a match play tournament but the format was switched to 72 holes of stroke play in 2019 before reverting to match play in 2022. Originally held in July, it was moved to coincide with Easter but now it is played in April to open the Irish competitive calendar each year.
