The 2025 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) is the 138th edition of the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. Thirty-one of the thirty-two Irish counties take part. Kilkenny do not compete but take part in the All-Ireland Junior Championship, while London and New York complete the lineup by entering the Connacht Championship.
The defending champions are Armagh who were assured of a place in the All-Ireland round robin phase by a top 7 finish in the 2025 National Football League; in the event, they qualified in any case as an Ulster Senior Championship finalist.[1] As winner of the 2024 Tailteann Cup, Down moved up to the All-Ireland championship.[2]
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 four provincial champions
- The four beaten provincial finalists
- The 2024 Tailteann Cup winners (Down)
- The seven next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2025 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 Down reaches the Ulster final, an 8th team will be chosen based on league position.
- New York do not participate in the League although London do.
The other 17 county teams compete in the 2025 Tailteann Cup. New York, by failing to reach the final of the Connacht championship, joined the Tailteann Cup in the preliminary quarter-final stage, the remaining teams in the round-robin group stages.
In the All-Ireland Championship round-robin, 16 teams are drawn into four groups of four teams. Each team plays the other 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.[3]
Teams
[edit]Thirty-three counties competed in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship: seven teams in the Connacht Senior Football Championship, eleven teams in the Leinster Senior Football Championship, six teams in the Munster Senior Football Championship and nine teams in the Ulster Senior Football Championship.

Miscellaneous
[edit]- Liam Gallagher scored the first two-pointer in championship football. He did so against Roscommon in the 14th minute of their 2025 Connacht SFC meeting in Ruislip.[4]
- Neither Leinster SFC semi-final was held at Croke Park. This had not happened since 1995.[5]
- As Portlaoise hosted Dublin v Meath in the Leinster SFC for the first since the fixture was played in Navan in 1980 that the fixture is not played at Croke Park. The match ended Dublin's 14 year spell as Leinster champions.
- Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games in 2020, it took an extra five years for Galway to play New York and Roscommon to play London. The last fixture celebrated 50 years of London in the Connacht SFC and the centenary of Galway's first All-Ireland SFC title in 1925.
- Clare score their first Munster Senior Football Championship victory over Tipperary since 2000.
- Clare reached a third consecutive Munster Senior Football Championship Final, only previously doing so in the 1915, 1916, and the 1917 championships.
- Louth reached a third consecutive Leinster Senior Football Championship Final, only previously doing so in the 1912, 1913, and 1914.
- Galway won a 4th Connacht title in a row for the first time since 1963-1966.
- Louth won their first Leinster title since 1957.
- Cavan defeat Mayo in the championship for the first time since the 1948 All-Ireland SFC final.[6]
- Clare meet Louth for the first time in the history of the championship.
