Provincial championships

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise their provincial championship. Each province is a knockout tournament.

Group stages

The 13 teams are drawn into four groups, each containing three teams: one provincial champion, one provincial finalist, and one provincial semi-finalist.

Each team plays the other teams in its group once. The top two in each group progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
