Experience gained from the inaugural Boyne Cup Change Ringing Striking Competition, coupled with feedback received from participating teams, has resulted in modified rules for the 2025 competition, as follows:
- Change ringing only.
- Only one team from each tower may participate.
- In extremis, two separate towers that have too few change ringers singularly, may combine and enter a joint team.
- The minimum standard is Plan Hunt and the number of changes rung must approximate to the number of changes in plain course of Grandsire Triples, as follows:
- Grandsire Triples – one plain course
- Plain Hunt on 7 – five courses continuously without stopping
- Plain Hunt on 5 – seven courses continuously without stopping
- Plain Hunt on 6 (no cover) – six courses continuously without stopping
- Teams are permitted to ring any other change ringing method of their choosing, provided it meets the required minimum number of changes as per above.
- Only teams from any part of the island of Ireland may participate.
