All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship

The All-Ireland Junior Ladies' Football Championship is the third tier championship competition in the game of Ladies' Gaelic football played by women in Ireland. The series of games are organised by Ladies' Gaelic Football Association (Irish :Cumann Peil Gael na mBan) and are played during the early summer months with the All-Ireland Final being played in late July or early August. The winners of the competition are presented with the West County Hotel Cup.

Competition format

edit

Counties are divided into two groups and participate in a round robin series of games. The top two teams play in a knockout semi-final before the winners of each game proceed to the final.

The winners of the competition are promoted to the Intermediate Championship in the next season and are replaced by a team relegated from that tier. Unlike the men's Championship, the counties' Ladies' National Football League does not have any bearing in which championship tier they compete.

List of finals

edit

The current holders are Down who won their second title after beating Limerick in the 2023 decider. This was Down's first year back in the Junior Championship having been relegated in 2022. They will compete in the Intermediate Championship in 2024.
