Wexford Rackard League
The Rackard League was founded in 1955 by the late Nickey Rackard and the primary teachers of County Wexford. At the inaugural meeting in the Talbot Hotel in Wexford, it was felt necessary to set up a structured competition for children attending primary school and to capitalize on the great interest in gaelic games in the county in the mid 1950s.
Nickey Rackard donated the cup for the hurling and the teachers donated the cup for the football both of which are still in use today.
