The championship worked 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]

The draws for the provincial championships took place on 15 October 2022.[3][4] The All-Ireland final was played on 30 July 2023 at Croke Park in Dublin,[5] between defending champions Kerry and Leinster champions Dublin. Dublin won their 31st title after a 1–15 to 1–13 win against Kerry.[6]

Format edit

Provincial Championships edit

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship. All provincial matches are knock-out.

Group stage format edit

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.[7]

All-Ireland format edit

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.

Incidents edit

Armagh v Monaghan quarter-final edit

During the All-Ireland quarter-final clash between Armagh and Monaghan, Gardaí arrested seven people and 15 fans were ejected from Croke Park after a fight broke out on Hill 16 before the penalty shoot-out.[31] Video footage later emerged on social media showing blows being exchanged between Armagh and Monaghan fans and some of those involved being knocked to the ground.[32] The footage was condemned by the GAA, saying it represented "unacceptable behaviour from a small number of supporters", warning fans that Hill 16 could be converted to seats if fighting in the terraced stand continued.[33][34]

Earlier in the match, the Hawk-Eye score detection system malfunctioned again after it returned a 'data unavailable' message.[35] The GAA requested an explanation from Hawk-Eye who concluded that the message was a result of operator error.[36] The next day the GAA took the decision to stand down Hawk-Eye once again.[37]
