(Redirected from All-Ireland Football Final)

The Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the premier knockout competition in the game of Gaelic Football played in Ireland.

Format

The county is a geographical region in Ireland, and each of the thirty-two counties in Ireland organises its own GAA affairs through a County Board. The county teams play in their respective Provincial Championships in Munster, Leinster, Connacht (including London and New York), and Ulster. If successful the county team will go on the play in the All-Ireland series. The football championship qualifying structure(for teams that have been knocked out of their respective provincial championships – The winning team of the respective provincial championship do not take part of the Qualifiers or "Back Door") works as follows:

  • Round 1 – This Round shall include all the counties that do not qualify for the Provincial Semi-Finals. An Open Draw shall be made to give eight pairings.
  • Round 2 – Each of the eight defeated teams in the Provincial Semi-Finals shall play against the eight winners from Round 1. A draw shall be made to determine the eight pairings.
  • Round 3 – The eight winners from Round 2 shall participate in this Round. An Open draw shall be made to determine the four pairings.
  • Round 4 – Each of the four teams defeated in the Provincial Finals shall play against the four winners from Round 3. A draw shall be made to determine the four pairings.
  • All Ireland Quarter-Finals – Each of the four Provincial Champions shall play one of the four winners from Round 4. A draw shall be made to determine the four pairings.
  • All Ireland Semi-Finals – The All Ireland Semi-Finals shall be on a Provincial rota basis, initially determined by the Central Council. If a Provincial Championship winning team is defeated in its Quarter-Final, the team that defeats it shall take its place in the Semi-Final.

For the first All-Ireland championship in 1887, the competition was played on an open draw knockout basis. From 1888, the provincial system was introduced, whereby the counties in each of Ireland's four provinces would play each other on a knockout basis to find provincial champions. These four champions would meet in the All-Ireland semi-finals. The present structure was adopted in 2001 to allow more games to be played but still retain provincial championships and the knockout structure.
