Universities & Colleges
Here's where you'll find your University or College so that you can connect with them. Across those active in the Ireland Esports Collegiate Series they are represented by over 80 teams and +50 individual entrants!
TUD Apes
Holders of the All-Ireland title from 2022/23 and 2023/24, TUD have amassed an impressive number of players to compete in each of the titles we offer students to play in. Their innovation continues as hosts of the Collegiate Challenge.
SETU Esports
Their world championship tier exploits in Rocket League plus a Spring 24 CS2 win have meant teams across the other titles have been able to work away under the radar. Ending the 23/24 Series in 2nd place, SETU are strong contenders for this year's crown.
QUB Esports
There's big things happening at QUB and it's gaining momentum after the reveal of their new Gaming Cafe over the summer. After coming close 3rd in the Collegiate Challenge, Queens are one to watch out for in the 2024/25 Series.
UCD Leviathans
They're one of the bigger ones in the series having formed 13 teams in the 22/23 Series and increasing on that for last academic year. The UCD Game Society are only just getting started.
TCD Esports
Trinity finished the Collegiate Challenge in 5th place for 2023/24 with teams competing in League, CS2, Valorant, Rocket League and F1. With a new Esports Society approved during the Summer of 2024, they're shaping up to be a top contender in the new academic year!
MTU Wraith
The dark horse, unpredictable, but when on form you'd better look out! They're strong across League of Legends, Valorant and Rocket League; they also took the inaugural EA FC24 title in Spring 24.
UL Esports
With one of the bigger memberships amongst the participating ROI Universities, UL have a good base to build on. One of the few who are looking for a Student Rep to pick up where the last one left off.
NETSOC Rebels
Straight out of Cork, the Rebels have been strong contenders across the core four titles having teams in each of Valorant, Rocket League, League of Legends and CS2. Let's see if they can find talent to add Formula 1 and EA FC to that list and make a push for the top two.
MU Crusaders
In 23/24 MU finished a respectable 9th in the Collegiate Challenge thanks to some solid results from their Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant teams. With a new intake of Fresher's looming the opportunity could be there to expand.
Ulster Unicorns
Ulster's Esports Society is established with a base of 360+ members. While they started strong last winter, their performance dropped in the spring. Can they return to their former glory this season?
TUS Dragons
The Dragons are another University on the move with a new Student Rep, a revamped Esports Society and a growing roster of game titles they're now active in. They finished 23/24 on a high after seeing an increase in player numbers.
UG Griffins
There's a hidden gem here. With a new Esports Society now formed for this season, the Griffins are hoping to rise like a Phoenix!
NCI Panthers
Right in the heart of Dublin, NCI are only a stones throw away from Dogpatch Labs - where the Winter & Spring Semester Finals take place. We can't wait to see them roll up and claim their finals weekend place soon!
DCU Esports
Right in the heart of Dublin, NCI are only a stones throw away from Dogpatch Labs - where the Winter & Spring Semester Finals take place. We can't wait to see them roll up and claim their finals weekend place soon!
DKIT Ravens
DKIT have a great opportunity to build with the right Student Rep and some support from the Ireland Collegiate team. We're eager to hear from anyone interested in picking up the reigns.
Belfast Met Esports
Belfast Met are extremely active building their presence in esports. In addition to having a partnership with Wylde, they're also closely connected into Ireland Esports. Looking forward to the 24/25 Series, it would be great to see them step back into the fray.
