manager due to an overlap of players on both teams. Prior to the development of the concept of a manager in the 1970s, teams were usually managed by a team of selectors with one member acting as chairman. Trophy and medals The Corn na Cásca (Easter Cup) was first presented in 1966 to commemorate the golden jubilee of the 1916 Easter Rising. The cup was retired in 2018 when Shane Kingston of Cork was the last person to captain a team to the Munster Under-21 Championship title. On 23 July 2019, a new cup for Munster Under-20 Championship was presented by the family of the late J. J. Kenneally by members of the Kenneally family to Munster GAA Chairman Liam Lenihan. Known as the J. J. Kenneally Perpetual Memorial Cup, the trophy commemorates the memory of one of Limerick city's most well-known jewellers and businessmen. The Kenneally family have supplied Munster GAA with medals and trophies for many years and they have donated this trophy in memory of J. J. Kenneally, a former president of the St. Patrick's club in Limerick. At the end of the Munster final, the winning team is presented with the cup. The cup is held by the winning team until the following year's final. Traditionally, the presentation is made at a special rostrum in the stand where GAA and political dignitaries and special guests view the match. The cup is decorated with ribbons in the colours of the winning team. During the game the cup actually has both teams' sets of ribbons attached and the runners-up ribbons are removed before the presentation. The winning captain accepts the cup on behalf of his team before giving a short speech. Individual members of the winning team then have an opportunity to come to the rostrum to lift the cup. In accordance with GAA rules, the Munster Council awards up to twenty-four gold medals to the winners of the Munster final. Sponsorship Since 2003, the Munster Championship has been sponsored. The sponsor has usually been able to determine the championship's sponsorship name.
