The 1998 O'Byrne Cup was a Gaelic football competition played by the county teams of Leinster GAA.
The tournament was a straight knockout, with 12 teams. New rules were tested:
- players were cautioned for any pushing, pulling or holding of an opponent
- two referees (in some games)
- five substitutes
- picking the ball off the ground permitted, so long as the player's feet are on the ground
- "mark" or free kick for an overhead catch from a kick-out
- solo run limited to one hop or one "solo"[1]
Offaly were the winners, scoring two late goals to defeat Louth in the final at Drogheda Park.[2]
