The 2024 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 93rd staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1929. The championship is scheduled to run from 27 March to 6/7 July 2024.

Derry are the defending champions.[1][2]

Format change[edit]

A vote at GAA Congress in September 2023 approved the introduction of tiered knockout competitions as part of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship. Tier 1 features the four provincial champions playing the four provincial runners up in the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Those pairings are decided on a provincial rota system initially determined by Central Council and provincial finals cannot be repeated at the quarter-final stage.[3]

The tier 2 knockout competition comprises 11 teams: one from Munster, four teams from both Leinster and Ulster and two from Connacht. Leinster and Ulster are each represented by their two losing semi-finalists as well as two beaten quarter-finalists. The third and fourth placed teams in Connacht are also included. The semi-finalists in Leinster and Ulster along with the third-placed team in Connacht receive byes to the quarter-finals where they are joined by [[#Tier 2 All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals|three preliminary quarter-final winners.

In tier 3, there are 13 teams made up of five from Leinster, three from both Munster and Ulster and two from Connacht. In Connacht’s case, their fifth-placed team play London for a place in the quarter-finals.

The tiered All-Ireland series runs over an eight-week period from mid-May to the start of July. New cups are to be commissioned for the tier 2 and 3 competitions.[4]
