All-Ireland Senior Football Championship

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games, the GAA announced that there would be no back-door route into the All-Ireland Championship. Therefore, because Armagh did not win the Ulster Championship, they did not qualify for the 2020 All-Ireland Championship.
