The championship is run on a league basis up to the Quarter-Final stage and Knock-out thereafter.[citation needed] Each team play 4 rounds in the league phase against different opponents with the fixtures decided by a random draw at the conclusion of each round. Placings in the league stage are decided in accordance with rule 6.21 of the GAA Official Guide 2016 as amended below:[citation needed]

6.21 (4) If a Championship is partly organised on a League basis, the following Regulations shall apply: (a) League Results shall be credited as follows: 2 points for a win, and one for a draw. (b) If a Team is Disqualified or Retires during the course of a League Stage, its played games shall stand and its un-played games shall be awarded to the opposing teams..

The top 8 teams in the league progress to the Quarter-Finals while the bottom 4 placed teams in the league enter a Relegation Playoff with 1 team to be relegated to the Cavan Intermediate Football Championship.[citation needed]
