Munster counties are now spending an average €737,000 more preparing their teams than those in Leinster.

The total team expenditure for Leinster’s 12 counties in 2025 came to €15.381 million, an increase of €916,432 on the previous year. However, the jump was less than that recorded among Munster’s six counties where the figure rose by €1.071m to €12.11m. The average outlay for a Munster county is €2.018m and in Leinster it is €1.281m.
