The draw has been for the inaugural all-island competition.

Athlone Town have been grouped with Shelbourne in the opening round after the draw was made for the inaugural Women's All-Island Cup.

Athlone met Shelbourne in last year’s FAI Women’s cup final where the Dublin side won 2-0. Galway United and Linfield are the other teams in group A.

Elsewhere, Glentoran take on Peamount United, Shamrock Rovers and Wexford Youths in group B.

Group C will see Women's Premiership winners Cliftonville come up against Bohemians, Derry City and Sligo Rovers.

Group D is made up of Cork City, Crusaders, DLR Waves and Treaty United.

To aid the Republic of Ireland's preparations for the World Cup, a break has been planned during this season's Premier Division season.

A new all-island competition will be played during the break ensuring that women's domestic football continues in some capacity.

The group games will take place on 18 June, 25 June and 2 July. The top teams in each group will then progress to the semi-finals.

The last four ties will be held on 9th July, before the last two compete for the silverware in the final on 16 July.
