The path to a potential All-Ireland senior club football crown has now become clear, with the fixtures for the provincial club football competitions having been confirmed.
A raft of county finals have been taking place across the country over the last few weeks, with all but a couple of championships now wrapped up. As a result, we have a clear indication on who will face who at provincial level.
There will be new winners in Leinster and Munster this year, with neither of the defending champions from 2025 managing to win their county titles this season. Ulster holders Scotstown and Connacht winners St Brigid’s are in the mix after further success within their own counties.
Here is the draw in full.
