The 2023 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship was the 50th edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's premier inter-county ladies' Gaelic football tournament, taking place in summer 2023 in Ireland.[1] Holders Meath were aiming for a three-in-a-row, but were defeated by Kerry, who went on to lose the final to Dublin.[2][3]

Format[edit]

Provincial championships[edit]

The 12 teams first play in their provincial championships; in Connacht there are two teams and the championship is played as a single match.

In Leinster and Ulster there are three teams in the provincial championship. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.

In Munster there are four teams in the provincial championship. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.

Group stage[edit]

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.

Relegation[edit]

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[edit]

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.[4] If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed.

Tiebreakers for group ranking[edit]

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. 1-15 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.

Protest[edit]

The start of the group stage match between Mayo and Laois was delayed due to a protest by the players of both teams. Both teams wore t-shirts that said #UNITEDFOREQUALITY during the warm up and went back to the dressing room for approximately 5 minutes after the national anthem was played. The protest was about delays from the LFGA, Camogie Association and GAA to develop a charter for inter-county players. Other teams that played on July 1 also wore the same t-shirts.[5]
