For clarity, the format is explained in the provincial sections below.

Qualifiers

All teams except the provincial champions enter the All-Ireland qualifiers. The final four qualifier winners re-enter the All-Ireland championship at the quarterfinal stage. All matches are knock-out.

All-Ireland

The four provincial champions play the four winners from the qualifiers in the All-Ireland quarterfinals with the winners progressing to the semifinals. The final is normally played on the fourth Sunday in September. All matches are knock-out.
