2019

The 2020 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship was the 47th edition of the

ladies' Gaelic Football
tournament.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games forced the delay of the tournament until late in the year, and it was shortened, with no provincial championships taking place.[1][2][3]

Dublin were the winners for the fourth year in a row.[4]

Format

Group stage

The 12 teams are drawn into four groups of three teams. Each team play each other team in its group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.

Knockout stage

The winners of each group compete in the All-Ireland semi-finals.
