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.

All-Ireland final edit
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]
