It will be the first edition of the tournament played in almost 40 years, after the competition was cancelled after the 1983–84 season due to waning interest in the games and to rising violence of hooliganism.
Northern Ireland, exclusively for this kind of tournament, will compete as Ireland; the anthem will be God Save the Queen and the flag will be the traditional Saint Patrick's Saltire.
