The Ulster Ladies Gaelic Football Association has announced that Armagh will face Donegal in the 2025 Ulster Senior Championship final, scheduled for the weekend of May 17th and 18th.

This rematch follows their thrilling 2024 final, where Armagh narrowly defeated Donegal after extra time in Clones on a 0-17 to 1-13 scoreline seeing Donegal, who were managed last year by John McNulty relinquish their Ulster crown.

Donegal progressed in the 2024 championship with a draw against Kerry, before losing out to Waterford, but maintained their senior status with a relegation play-off win against Kildare in Breffni Park.

The 2025 season will also see Donegal competing in Division 2 of the LGFA National League, with four home games and three away fixtures. Their campaign kicks off this weekend away to Clare.
