A host of sides from Donegal are among the 345 teams who will part in the tournament which runs from from July 17th to July 22nd .
The fixtures for the week-long event have also been confirmed.
Fresh from helping Ireland earn a crucial 1-1 draw against Austria in the World Cup qualifying group match at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday, James McClean was the special guest at Monday evening's launch.
He praised the Foyle Cup for providing an ‘excellent pathway into professional football’ for local kids.
“Obviously I’ve played in the competition over many years and coming from Derry, it gave me the opportunities that got me to where I am today,” he said.
“This event has grown so much in stature and importance that I believe the tournament has become an excellent pathway into professional football for many local kids.”
