The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final will be one of the highlights of the summer sporting calendar in Ireland
The All-Ireland Senior Football Championship stage draw has set up some intense matchups, including a potential “group of death” featuring either Armagh or Donegal and the winners of Galway vs. Mayo, alongside Derry and Westmeath.
The Connacht SFC final between Galway and Mayo at Pearse Stadium on Sunday will determine which team faces a challenging group stage. Meanwhile, Donegal and Armagh will compete in the Ulster final the following week, with the losing team also falling into the tough Group 1.
Group 2 will feature the Leinster champions (Dublin or Louth), the losing team from Galway vs. Mayo, as well as Roscommon and Cavan. The Ulster champions will face Tyrone, Cork, and the losing team from the Kerry vs. Clare Munster final.
The Munster champions will compete against the losing team from the Dublin vs. Louth Leinster final, alongside Monaghan and Meath.
The top four group winners will advance to the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals, while the second and third-placed teams will enter the preliminary quarter-finals. Games are set to begin on the weekend of May 18-19.
