Format

Provincial championships

The 12 teams first play in their provincial championships.

There are only two teams in Ulster, so their championship is a single match.

In Leinster and Connacht there are three teams, and there are four in Munster. In each of these provinces the teams play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.

Group stage

The 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.^[6]

Tiebreakers for group ranking

If 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. 0-18 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

The last-placed teams in the groups play off to decide which team is relegated to the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship.

Knockout stage

The 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. If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed on 16/17 August, but not at Croke Park.^[1]
