The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the 137th edition of the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament since its establishment in 1887. Thirty one of the thirty two Irish counties take part – Kilkenny will not compete, while London and New York complete the lineup.[1]
The draws for the championship took place on October 21, 2023.
The championship will work as a two-tier system for the third time, with the Tailteann Cup being the second-tier competition for those that do not qualify for the Sam Maguire Cup competition.[2]
Format[edit]
Provincial Championships[edit]
Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship. All provincial matches are knock-out.
Group stage format[edit]
Sixteen teams progress to the All-Ireland Championship round-robin:
- The 4 provincial champions
- The 4 beaten provincial finalists
- The 2023 Tailteann Cup winners (Meath)
- The 7 next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2024 National Football League
- Position is based on standing after promotion and relegation are applied and after finals are played; therefore, the top two teams in Division 2 outrank the bottom two teams in Division 1, and if the 2nd placed team in Division 2 wins the final, they are ranked above the 1st-place finishers who lost the final.
- If Meath reach the Leinster final, then an 8th team will be chosen based on league position.
The other 17 county teams compete in the 2024 Tailteann Cup.
In the All-Ireland Championship round-robin, 16 teams are drawn into four groups of four teams. Each team plays the other teams in its group once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Each team plays one home, one away and one neutral fixture.
The top three in each group advance to the knockout stages; first-place teams to the All-Ireland quarter-finals, and second- and third-placed teams to the preliminary quarter-finals.[3]
All-Ireland format[edit]
The four second-placed teams play against the third-placed teams in the preliminary quarter-finals. The winners of the preliminary quarter-finals advance to play the group winners in the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Two semi-finals and a final follow. All matches are knock-out.
Teams[edit]
General Information[edit]
Thirty three counties will compete in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship: seven teams in the Connacht Senior Football Championship, eleven teams in the Leinster Senior Football Championship, six teams in the Munster Senior Football Championship and nine teams in the Ulster Senior Football Championship.
