Thirty one of the thirty two Irish counties take part – Kilkenny will not compete, while London and New York complete the lineup.[1]
The championship will work as a two-tier system for the second time, with the Tailteann Cup being the second tier competition for those that do not qualify for the Sam Maguire Cup competition.[2]
Kerry are the defending champions.
The draws for the provincial championships took place on 15 October 2022.[3][4]
The All-Ireland final is due to be played on 30 July 2023 at Croke Park in Dublin.[5]
Competition format
Provincial Championships format
Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship. All provincial matches are knock-out.
All-Ireland Championship round-robin
Sixteen teams progress to the All-Ireland Championship round-robin:
- The 4 provincial champions
- The 4 beaten provincial finalists
- The 2022 Tailteann Cup winners (Westmeath)
- The 7 next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2023 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 Westmeath reach the Leinster final, then an 8th team will be chosen based on league position.
The other 17 county teams compete in the 2023 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.[6]
All-Ireland format
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.
