Sam Maguire Cup

In the Sam Maguire Cup Draw, the 16 participating Counties will be drawn into four separate groups. Teams will be seeded based on Championship and League performance and each group will feature four teams (each group consisting of a 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seed).

The Provincial Champions will each be a first seed, with the Provincial Runners-Up being second seeds. The 3rd seeds will be the four highest-placed teams from the 2024 Allianz Leagues (who have not qualified for theirProvincial finals). The fourth seeds will include the next four highest-placed teams from the conclusion of this year’s Allianz Leagues.

Teams who are due to meet in a Provincial Final (seeds 1 and 2) cannot be in the same group. However, teams who have already played each other earlier in this year’s championships can be drawn to the same groups.
