Last season’s champions Ballyclare have followed in the footsteps of several previous winners, by sealing promotion to the Energia All-Ireland League but there are three previous cup holders in the mix.
There are four Munster teams taking part this year.
Kilfeacle & District will make the long trip up north to take on Cooke.
Mallow will meet Bective Rangers at home.
Newcastle West travel to the capital to take on Suttonions while Thomond face Dromore at home in Liam Fitzgerald Park.
Kilfeacle & District were the most recent Munster team to win the cup as they overcame Dromore in 2020.
