Royal School Armagh
Royal School Armagh had a comfortable start to their Schools' Cup campaign, defeating Down High School 38-0 in the Round of 16. They emerged victorious in the last round after a tough battle with Regent House, which finished 25-22. The last time Royal School Armagh reached the final was in 2020, when the trophy was shared with fellow semi-finalists, Wallace High School.
Rainey Endowed School
Rainey have had an impressive Schools' Cup campaign so far, topping their group with 3 bonus-point wins. They went on to comfortably beat Bangor Grammar 56-12 in the Round of 16. In the quarter-finals, they defeated last year's finalists, Ballymena Academy 24-17. This is Rainey Endowed School's first semi-final in 42 years, and the school have not lifted the trophy since 1982, so excitement is high.

Wallace High School
Wallace secured their semi-final spot by defeating last year's winners, RBAI in the last round 21-3. RBAI defeated Wallace in last year's semi-finals, so the Lisburn school will be looking to go one further this year.
Belfast Royal Academy
Belfast Royal Academy have had a strong schools' cup journey, finishing top of their group and going on to defeat fellow Belfast school Methodist College 43-26 and Sullivan Upper School in a tight 20-17 encounter in the quarter-final. BRA have not been in a Schools' Cup final since 2010, and have not lifted the trophy since 1997, so will be hoping to change that.
There will be food trucks available at the back of the Grandstand for Wallace High School and the Family Stand for Belfast Royal Academy.
