Format
In 2018, the grading system of Junior Championships was restructured. The Dublin Junior Football Championship is divided between Junior 1 and 2. This provided every club first team to play in a championship with the aim of progressing to intermediate and senior, without facing other clubs second, third, or fourth side teams.[1]
Junior 1 consists of 16 teams who are divided into four groups of four. The top two sides in each group are then included in an open draw for the quarter-finals of the championship. The team that wins the Dublin Junior Football Championship, and the runner up is promoted to the Dublin Intermediate Championship. The teams that finish at the bottom of their respective groups go on to play in a relegation championship. The eventual loser drops to the Dublin Junior 2 Football Championship.[citation needed]
Junior 2 consists of 12 teams. The top two sides in each group are then included in an open draw for the quarter-finals of the championship. No team can be relegated from the Dublin Junior 2 Football Championship.[2]
A club that has an additional team in Championship will compete in the All County Championship. The All County Championship is divided into 6 divisions and participation will vary each year depending on each club's performance in higher graded divisions.[3]
