2023 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2023 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 91st staging of the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.[citation needed] The championship ran from 14 July to 16 July 2023.[citation needed]
Kilkenny were the defending champions.[1][2]
New York won the 2023 title.[3] It was their first ever championship in football and their first piece of silverware since winning the 1966–67 National Football League.[citation needed]
Format
Since 2022, the All-Ireland Junior Championship has been confined to just four teams; New York, Kilkenny and the winner and runner-up of the British Junior Football Championship. Prior to the change, the championship previously featured a provincial structure for all junior Gaelic football inter-county teams in Ireland.[4]
