Leinster are the 2026 Women’s Interprovincial Matches Champions after coming out on top in their title decider with Munster, whilst the result of the Men’s Interprovincials was the reverse, as Munster won by the slightest of margins, a half Match Point, to deny Leinster the double in glorious sunshine at Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort.

With Leinster and Munster both winning their respective matches against Connacht and Ulster earlier in the week, it setup a winner-takes-all matchup today in the Women’s event, which duly delivered. Leinster’s 2-1 morning foursomes lead was swiftly rebutted in the afternoon singles, as Anna Dawson (Tramore) and Lucy Grattan (Tralee) claimed points for those in red either side of a win for Leinster’s Isabella Stewart (Woodbrook).
