Merseyside Quiz Leagues

This competition is open to teams finishing first, second or third in the top division of each of the constituent leagues of the MQL.  It is played over 2 evenings during April.  Depending on the number of teams wishing to take part, the first evening is usually played on a mini league basis at 3 or 4 locations.  The top team from each location qualifies for a similar competition on the second evening at a single venue. 

In a slight change to arrangements, the 2025 Feeny Cup will take place on two Monday evenings following the completion of all League seasons.
