The most important event associated with the regional squads is the Youth Games which is a competition between all the squads throughout Ulster. The N.E. Squad has been very successful in these games. Since the games began in 2000 the N.E. Squad has won in 2000, 2001 and 2002. In 2009, the 10th anniversary of the games the Coleraine Squad were once again crowned Youth Games Champions.
