Format

edit

Each Irish county plays a county championship, with one club progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. In this, each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland semi-finals.

The Kilkenny champions do not compete in Leinster, instead playing in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship, while the London champions compete in the Connacht championship.
