The 2020 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship was the 47th edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's premier inter-county 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]
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.

After the semi-final between Cork and Galway, LGFA president Marie Hickey criticised the Galway ladies for not vacating their dressing room in sufficient time to complete their warm-up, after they complained about being hurried into doing so.[6][7][8]
