In 2015 the Munster League & Leinster League were merged into one ROI League with Semi-Finals & Finals before the Grand Final. The NI League had the same format as previously, with one League followed by a Final.

For 2016 the Munster and Leinster Provinces were merged into one ROI League, with Galway Tribesmen emerging victors, 15-8 over Athboy Longhorns. The went on to win the Grand Final, 36-34 over Ulster Champions Ballynahinch Rabbitohs.

The newly named Longhorns RL, now playing in Ashbourne, though still Co. Meath, won the 2017 title 46-6 over Belfast Met Scholars, after emerging winners over the holders, Galway, in the ROI Championship Final.

The 2018 season saw Longhorns RL again emerging victorious over Galway in the ROI Final, with Belfast Stags narrowly winning NI Championship 30-28 over Portadown Pumas. After a season where many teams dropped out and a lot of games were cancelled, the All-Ireland Final itself, between Longhorns RL and Belfast Stags, was cancelled, after the Stags forfeited.

In 2019, there was no regularly playing Northern Conference, and the Title was contested by 5 Southern Conference teams, with Longhorns winning 38-16 over Dublin City Exiles.

From 2010-2014, there was a Leinster, Munster and Ulster Championship with Provincial Finals and a Grand Final. From 2016-2018 the Munster and Leinster Provincial Championships were merged into one Republic of Ireland Championship with the winners meeting the Northern Ireland Championship winners in the All-Ireland Final.

In 2010, Dublin City Exiles beat Carlow Crusaders 25-24 to win Leinster, while Treaty City Titans, from Limerick thrashed Cork 50-18 in Munster, and Ballynahinch Rabbitohs triumphed over Fermanagh Redskins 38-20 in Ulster.

Carlow Crusaders won the Leinster Championship in 2011, beating Ulster Champions Ballynahinch 58-22 in the All-Ireland Playoff before losing to Munster winners, Treaty City Titans in the Grand Final, 18-0.

Ballynahich repeated as Ulster Champions in 2012, and beat Leinster Champions Athboy Longhorns 52-22 in the All-Ireland Playoff, before losing 28-24 to Munster Champions Country Cowboys in the Grand Final.

In 2013, Treaty City Titans again won the Grand Final, beating Leinster Champions Dublin City Exiles 36-16 in the Grand Final.

Report

Ireland started off the Student Four Nations Rugby League Tournament with a magnificent win over Scotland, however, they lost their next match against England as expected and then fell just short against Wales when a win or a draw would have seen the Irish Students take second. They did, however, finish 3rd in the Tournament.
