The 2025 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship, known for sponsorship reasons as the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship,[1] is the 52nd edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's premier inter-county ladies' Gaelic football tournament, taking place in spring-summer 2025 in Ireland.[2][3]
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.[4]
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]
