When is the draw for the All-Ireland Football Championship?

The draw for the All-Ireland Football Championship preliminary quarter-finals and Tailteann Cup semi-finals will take place on Monday morning, 16 June.
Both draws will take place on RTE Radio 1's Morning Ireland at 8.35am on Monday.
The draws will be governed by Central Competitions Control Committee chairman Brian Carroll and Feargal McGill, the GAA's director of Player, Club and Games Administration.
The four second-placed counties from the All-Ireland SFC group stages - Donegal, Kerry, Down, Dublin - will have home advantage against the four third-placed counties - Cavan, Cork, Louth and Galway.
These preliminary quarter-finals will take place on Saturday, 21 June or Sunday, 22 June. The sides will look to join Tyrone, Meath, Monaghan and Armagh, who have already secured their place in the last eight.
The draw will avoid any repeats of provincial final pairings, and, where possible, repeat matchups from the group stages.
Similarly, in the Tailteann Cup, repeat pairings will also be avoided as Fermanagh, Kildare, Wicklow and Limerick go into the hat for the last four clashes.
The semi-finals are set to be played at Croke Park the weekend after next.

Mark Dowd set to become new Roscommon manager

Mark Dowd has been named as Roscommon's new senior football manager, replacing Davy Burke. The current Roscommon Gaels manager was part of a management team that won an All-Ireland in 2006 with the county and was part of the backroom team for the senior side's Connacht titles in 2010 and 2019. Dowd also previously managed the county's Under-21 side, winning a Connacht title in 2015. Well thought of, Dowd was also part of the management team that won the Senior title in 2022 in Strokestown and brought the Gaels to a county final in 2024. His backroom team has not yet been announced, and his appointment is subject to ratification. Roscommon Chairman Brian Carroll said: 'We are delighted to welcome Mark Dowd as the incoming manager of the Roscommon Senior Football team. Mark has an outstanding track record at both club and county level, and he brings with him a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion for Roscommon football. We are confident that his leadership will help drive this team forward and build on the progress of recent years. I have had the pleasure of working with Mark on numerous occasions over the last 12 years and I know the Roscommon Senior Football team is in safe hands going forward. On behalf of Roscommon GAA, I would like to wish Mark every success in the role and assure him of our full support as he begins this exciting new chapter.' Roscommon earned promotion back to Division One in 2025, but endured a difficult Championship campaign where they finished bottom of their All-Ireland group and were knocked out in the Connacht
