All-Ireland Junior Football Championship

The All-Ireland Junior Football Championship is a GAA competition It has historically consisted of two entirely different formats before and after 2021, but has retained the same name.

History
Summary of champions History For the bulk of this competition's history up to 2021, the winners of the provincial Junior Football Championships met to decide who was the "Home" winner. This team then met the champion county in Great Britain to determine the All-Ireland Junior Football champion. == Format ==
Format
Historic format (1912-2019) The five provincial winners would contest the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship. Teams (5) ---- Current format (2022-) At GAA Congress in 2021, a motion was passed to change the entire structure of the All Ireland Junior Football Championship competition to that of a mostly 'overseas competition' along with just one Irish county, Kilkenny. The Junior Football Championship competition therefore now involves just four teams: New York, Kilkenny, and the winner and runner-up of the British Junior Championship, all meeting in the All Ireland Junior Championship semi-finals. Quarter-finals were introduced in 2025 when a fifth team entered the competition, representing the rest of the United States. Both the New York and US teams operate under a "homegrown only" policy in this competition; the New York team which enters the senior All-Ireland series also includes Irish-born or trained players.
