The championship was won by Mayo who beat Kerry in the final. Kerry had been the defending champions.[1] The bookmakers' favourites had been Kerry and Donegal, with Tyrone, Galway, Dublin and Armagh also considered contenders.[2][3]
Format
At the GAA's Annual Congress in Donegal in 2025, delegates approved Motion 19 to revise the Championship structure from 2026 onwards.[4] The championship features 16 teams:
- The four provincial champions
- The four beaten provincial finalists
- The 2025 Tailteann Cup winner (Kildare)
- The seven next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2026 National Football League
- Position is based on standings after promotion and relegation are applied and after finals are played; therefore, the top two teams in Division 2 outrank the bottom two teams in Division 1; if the 2nd-placed team in Division 2 wins the final, they are ranked above the first-placed finisher who lost the final.
The round-robin stage is scrapped under the new format, moving to a modified double-elimination tournament.[5]
Provincial champions and runners-up are seeded in the draw for Round 1 of the knockout stage and given home-field advantage. The sixteen games are played over two weekends: the Munster and Connacht finalists on the first weekend, while the Ulster and Leinster finalists' ties are on the second weekend.
In Round 1 the eight winners move into Round 2A, while the eight losers enter Round 2B. The winners of the four Round 2A ties advance directly to the quarter-finals. The four Round 2A losers meet the four Round 2B winners in Round 3 to decide the remaining quarter-finalists. Round 2B and Round 3 losers are eliminated.
In Round 2 and Round 3, the team picked first plays at home; a re-draw or fixture swap occurs if a selected tie is a rematch of a provincial final or Round 1 match-up.[6]
The draw for the early stages of the competition took place on 27 November 2025.
All throw-in times are UTC+1 (Irish Standard Time or British Summer Time), except where indicated.
Teams
Thirty-three counties compete in the All-Ireland Championship: every Irish county except Kilkenny. This number is augmented by London and New York, both of whom compete in the Connacht Championship, bringing the total there to seven teams. Eleven teams compete in the Leinster Championship, six in Munster and nine in Ulster.

Notable events and records
- The Ulster quarter final between Donegal and Down was the first Ulster SFC game at O'Donnell Park, Letterkenny since 1951.[17]
- Galway reached an eleventh Connacht final in a row, equalling their records of 1933–43 and 1956–66.[18]
- Westmeath reached their first Leinster SFC final since 2016 and won their first Leinster title since 2004.[19]
- Dublin lost a Leinster final for the first time since 2001.
- It was the first Ulster final between Armagh and Monaghan since 1938.
- Armagh won their first Ulster title since 2008.[20]
- In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Westmeath won five championship games in the same season for the first time ever, this was accomplished with an extra-time victory over Cavan on Saturday 30 May.[21][22]
- In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Louth defeated Dublin in the Championship for the first time since 1973.[23]
- In Round 1 of the All-Ireland SFC, Dublin concede four goals in a single championship match since 2010.
- Round 2A saw the first championship meeting of Louth and Armagh.
- Roscommon were Connacht champions but were knocked out in Round 2B, equivalent to 13th–16th place; this is the worst finish by a provincial champion since the 16-team All-Ireland series was introduced in 2023 (Prior to 2023, provincial champions would automatically reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals.) In 2023, Connacht champions Galway were eliminated in the preliminary quarter-finals (9th–12th place); the same result was achieved by Leinster champions Louth in 2025.
- Cork failed to reach the All-Ireland semi-finals for the 14th year in a row, equalling the worst streak in their history. (Their previous worst was 1929–1942, fourteen championships.)[25]
- Louth reached the All-Ireland semi-finals for the first time since 1957.[26]
- Mayo's victory in the All-Ireland marked the first time a Connacht team had won the championship since Galway in 2001.
- Mayo won the All-Ireland for the first time since 1951, ending a 75-year famine and an eleven-final losing streak. This is the longest gap between consecutive titles by a county, with the second-longest being Louth's 45-year gap between 1912 and 1957.
