Results from this tournament provide the basis for selection for both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland Universities teams, which compete against the other home nations in the Student 8 Ball Home Internationals.

The current team champions are University of Ulster Coleraine, who successfully defended their title with an 8-2 victory over QUB "A". The individual title is held by none other than Stephen Dempsey from NUI Galway, who is a former Men's European Champion and was runner up in the same event in 2008.
