Format
editProvincial championships
editThe 12 teams first play in their provincial championships. Connacht and Ulster each contain two teams, so their championships are played as a single match.
In Leinster and Munster, there are four teams in the provincial championships. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.[4]
Group stage
editThe 12 teams are drawn into four groups of three teams; seeding is based on performance in the provincial championships. Each team plays each other team in its group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.[5]
Tiebreakers for group ranking
editIf two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:
- winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
- if the head-to-head match was a draw, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12)
- if the head-to-head match was an exact draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
- if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored
If three teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.
Relegation
editThe last-placed teams in the groups play off to decide which team is relegated to the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship. Provincial champions are exempt from relegation.[3]
Knockout stage
editThe top two in each group progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Quarter-finals and semi-finals are "results on the day," with 20 minutes' extra time being played in the event of a draw, and a free-kick shootout being taken from a 30 m (33 yd) distance in the event of a draw after extra time.[6] If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed.
