The 2019 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the 132nd edition of the GAA's premier inter-county gaelic football tournament since its establishment in 1887.

Thirty-three teams took part – thirty-one of the thirty-two Counties of Ireland, London and New York. Kilkenny, as in previous years, did not enter.

Dublin are the defending champions; they claimed a record-equalling fourth consecutive title in 2018, becoming only the fourth team to achieve this feat (the others are Wexford in 1915–18 and Kerry in 1929–32 and 1978–81).[1] If Dublin win, they will become the first county football team to win five consecutive senior championships.[2]

Competition format

Provincial Championships format

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship. Most teams who lose a match in their provincial championship enter the All-Ireland qualifiers – New York does not enter the qualifiers.[3][4][5][6]

All provincial matches are knock-out. If the score is level at the end of the normal seventy minutes, two periods of ten minutes each way are played. If the score is still level the tie goes to a replay.

Qualifiers format

Twenty eight of the twenty nine teams beaten in the provincial championships enter the All-Ireland qualifiers, which are knock-out. Sixteen of the seventeen teams (New York do not enter the qualifiers) eliminated before their provincial semi-finals play eight matches in round 1 of the qualifiers, with the winners of these games playing the eight beaten provincial semi-finalists in round 2. The eight winning teams from round 2 play-off against each other in round 3, with the four winning teams playing the four beaten provincial finalists in round 4. This completes the double-elimination format as the four round 4 winners re-enter the main competition at the Super 8 stage (officially named The All-Ireland Quarter-Final Group Stage). Further details of the format are included with each qualifier round listed below.

In rounds one to three, teams from divisions three and four of the National Football League have home advantage if drawn against teams from divisions one and two.

All qualifier matches are knockout with "Winner On The Day" rules being applied if a match is level at the end of the normal seventy minutes. Initially two extra time periods of ten minutes each way are played. If the score is still level two further periods of five minutes each way are played. If the score is still level, the winner is determined by a Penalty shoot-out.

All-Ireland format

Significant changes to the format of the All-Ireland championship were made at the GAA's Annual Congress in February 2017 and introduced in 2018. The major change was the creation of the All-Ireland Quarter-Final Group Stage commonly know as "The Super 8's", which replaced the four knockout quarter-finals. Two groups of four teams compete in the Super 8s with the top two teams in each group contesting the semi-finals on a weekend in mid August. The All-Ireland final is played "by the 35th Sunday of the year".[7]

The changes will be trialed for three years before being reviewed by the GAA in late 2020.

Changes from 2018 competition

Super 8s

In each group of the Super 8s, the two provincial champions play their home fixture against one of the qualifier teams in Round 1, play each other in Round 2 in Croke Park and are away to the remaining qualifier team in Round 3. Previously the two provincial champions played each other in Round 1 in Croke Park, played their away fixture against one of the qualifier teams in Round 2, and were at home to the remaining qualifier team in Round 3.

Team sheets

Counties must submit their finalised teams to the referee 40 minutes before the throw-in (previously 20 minutes). Sixty six percent of delegates voted in favour of the change at the GAA congress in Wexford on 23 February 2019.

Live Gaelic Football On TV

RTÉ, the national broadcaster in Ireland, will provide the majority of the live television coverage of the football championship in the second year of a five-year deal running from 2017 until 2021. Sky Sports will also broadcast live games and have exclusive rights to a number of matches including some All-Ireland football super 8 matches. Both RTÉ and Sky Sports televise the two All-Ireland semi-finals and final live.

BBC Northern Ireland will air four Ulster Championship games live: the Antrim–Tyrone quarter-final, the two semi-finals, and the final.[8]

Ulster Senior Football Championship

An un-seeded draw determined the fixtures for all nine teams. In April 2018 the Ulster GAA Competitions Control Committee introduced a rule that the two teams who play in the preliminary round are exempt from playing in the preliminary round in the following two years.[9] Derry and Tyrone were therefore awarded byes to the quarter-finals in 2020 and 2021.

Qualifiers Round 3

In the third round of the qualifiers the eight winning teams from round 2 play off in four matches.

Qualifiers Round 4

In the fourth round of the qualifiers, the four winning teams from round 3 play the four beaten provincial finalists.

The matches are normally held in neutral venues (unless the two teams involved have an arrangement or agree to a coin toss to decide who has home advantage). The four winners of these matches play in the round robin All-Ireland Super 8s.

All-Ireland Quarter-Final Group Stage

Structure

Format

The four provincial champions and the four winning teams from round four of the All-Ireland qualifiers are divided into two groups of four teams. Each group consists of two provincial champions and the two losing provincial finalists of the other two provinces or the team that beats them in round four of the qualifiers.

There are three rounds of two games in each group. Teams have one home game, one away game and one game in Croke Park.

Phase 1 - Weekend of 13th/14th July - Each of the two provincial champions play one of the two qualifiers with both provincial champions having home advantage.

Phase 2 - Weekend of 20th/21st July - The provincial champions play each other and the two qualifiers play each other. All round 2 matches are in Croke Park.

Phase 3 - Weekend of 3rd/4th August - Both qualifiers have home advantage when they play the provincial champions.

Dublin, if they qualify, will play their home game at Croke Park meaning that they will have two "Super 8" games in Croke Park.[10] Some counties criticised the use of Croke Park as a home venue for Dublin.[11] At the GAA Congress on 23 February 2019 Donegal proposed that Dublin be limited to playing one "Super 8" game at Croke Park. The motion failed as it only received 36% of the available votes.

Super 8 games are played in the four weeks beginning in early July and ending in early August. Two points are awarded for a win and one point for a draw. The top two teams in each group advance to the All-Ireland semi-finals.

Tie-breaker

If only two teams are level on group points -

  • The team that won the head-to-head match is ranked first
  • If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all group games) is used to rank the teams
  • If score difference is identical, total scored is used to rank the teams
  • If still identical, a play-off is required

If three or more teams are level on group points, score difference is used to rank the teams.
