In Mayo the senior championship trophy is called the Moclair Cup, after Paddy Moclair, a great Ballina footballler of the 30s.

In the Wee County the top prize in the Senior football championship is named the Joe Ward Cup. Joe Ward was involved with the Dundalk Young Irelands club. He served both club and county at different times as secretary. Elected chairman of the County Board in 1910, he was also a selector in a year that brought the All Ireland Football title for the very first time. This was the only time that an All Ireland had been won with a walk over as the Kerry team refused to travel to final. This was because the train company at the time would not sell tickets at reduced rates. In recognition of his services to the GAA, he was elected the first honorary president of the Louth County Committee in 1926. He died in 1948. A year later the trophy was named after him and Stabannon Parnells defeated St Mary's from Ardee to become the first winners of the trophy in 1949.
