The two competitions will therefore revert to the knockout system largely based on what was the norm prior to 2018. A qualifier system will be in place for those non-provincial winners, therefore, guaranteeing each team a minimum of two matches. The existing draw will remain, meaning the losers of the Cork-Kerry Munster semi-final and Donegal-Tyrone Ulster quarter-final will be dumped out of the Championship entirely. It will also be revealed if the Munster and Leinster champions will face one side of the All-Ireland SFC draw, as was to be the case this year.
