The 5th-6th February 2016 saw the UPC Irish Intervarsities Eight-ball Pool Championships relocate to the Abbey Court Hotel and Spa in Nenagh, County Tipperary. This year saw 140 students and 34 teams from 12 institutions competing for titles in the Team Championship, Team Trophy and Individual Championship.
This year saw a very strong Ulster University A side take the Team Championship having faced tough opposition from the defending champions Dublin Institute of Technology A in the final.
Some commanding performances from David McQuillan of IT Blanchardstown took him to glory in the Individual Championship, with Francis McGuire of Ulster University the runner-up.
The UPC Irish Intervarsities Team Shield was won by Dublin City University A as they overcame IT Carlow B in the final.
