Donegal captain Roisin Rodgers helps launch All-Ireland Ladies Football Championships

THE stage is set for the 2025 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football Championships – with 33 counties aiming for six coveted spots at Croke Park for TG4 All-Ireland Finals day on Sunday August 3. 

And representatives from the competing teams - including Donegal skipper Roisin Rodgers - gathered at Croke Park on Tuesday for the launch. 

The Senior Championship will commence on Saturday June 7 with three fixtures – Galway v Tipperary, Kerry v Mayo and Meath v Armagh – while Waterford will take on Dublin on Sunday June 8. 

TG4’s live TV schedule for the group stages of the TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship has also been confirmed. 

The Meath-Armagh clash on Saturday June 7 (3pm) will commence the live coverage, followed by the clash between Waterford and Dublin on Sunday June 8 (1.30pm). 

There’s a live TV double-header pencilled in for Saturday June 14, as Kildare host Meath at 12.45pm, followed by the meeting of Cork and Kerry at 2.30pm. 

And on Saturday June 21, when the group stages conclude, the live TV offerings are Tipperary v Donegal (1pm) and Mayo v Cork (3pm). 

Additionally, all Senior Championship ties not shown live on TG4 linear TV will be available to view on the Spórt TG4 YouTube channel, as was the case last year. 

The groupings for the All-Ireland Senior and Intermediate Championships were populated as the provincial campaigns progressed.

At Senior level, defending champions Kerry, aiming for back-to-back titles and fresh from retaining their Munster title at the weekend, are in Group 2 alongside Mayo and Cork. 

Group 1 features Connacht champions and 2024 All-Ireland Finalists Galway, Donegal and Tipperary, with Ulster champions Armagh, Meath and Kildare in Group 3.
