“Every summer we welcome thousands of players, coaches, officials, families and supporters to Northern Ireland, while many more follow the tournament from across the world,” said Tournament Co-ordinator Sam Gamble.
“We wanted to make it easier than ever for everyone to stay connected, whether they’re standing beside a pitch or following the action from thousands of miles away.
“For the first time, everything people need to follow the tournament is available in one place.
“Fixtures, results, league tables, ticketing, news and venue information are all at their fingertips, giving people a completely new way to experience the tournament.”
The website will be updated year-round, with the app more focused on tournament week planning and tracking for its users.
These tools have been developed in partnership with Holywood-based company Astutely, and are supported through funding from the National Lottery Dormant Assets for All Fund.
Those at Astutely wanted everyone to be catered for in the new platform.
“Before we designed anything, we spent time understanding how players, parents, coaches, scouts, media and supporters experience tournament week and where we could make things simpler,” said Astutely’s Managing Director Robert Annett.
“The answer was bringing everything they need into one place in a way that’s fast, intuitive and easy to use.
“The new website and app make information instantly accessible, whether you’re checking fixtures, following results, planning your day, watching live streaming or keeping up with the latest standings.
“They have been designed to support everyone connected with the tournament, whether they’re at a venue in Northern Ireland or following the action from elsewhere in the world.”
This year’s tournament sees the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool, Rangers, Celtic, Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton, Sunderland, Leeds United and West Ham United compete alongside leading County representative teams.
Last year, Wayne Rooney made the trip over to watch his son Kai play in the tournament, which has featured the likes of Marcus Rashford, David Beckham, James Milner and Fernandinho.
The 2026 Budget Energy SuperCupNI takes place from Sunday, July 26 to Friday, July 31, with the Girls’ Cup Finals being staged at Dixon Park, Ballyclare on Thursday, July 30, before the Boys’ Minor, Junior and Premier Cup Finals return to The Coleraine Showgrounds on Friday, July 31.
