The 2023 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC) was the 137th edition of the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament since its establishment in 1887. Thirty one of the thirty two Irish counties took part – Kilkenny did not compete, while London and New York completed the lineup. ^[1]

The championship worked as a two-tier system for the second time, with the Tailteann Cup being the second tier competition for those that do not qualify for the Sam Maguire Cup competition. ^[2]

The draws for the provincial championships took place on 15 October 2022. ^{[3] [4]} The final was played on 30 July 2023 at Croke Park in Dublin, ^[5] between defending champion Kerry and Leinster champion Dublin. Dublin won a 31st title, with a 1–15 to 1–13 win against Kerry in that game. ^[6]

Format

Provincial Championships

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship. All provincial matches are knock-out.

Group stage format

Sixteen teams progress to the All-Ireland Championship round-robin:

• The 4 provincial champions
• The 4 beaten provincial finalists
• The 2022 Tailteann Cup winners (Westmeath)
• The 7 next-ranked teams, based on final position in the 2023 National Football League
  • Position is based on standing after promotion and relegation are applied and after finals are played; therefore, the top two teams in Division 2 outrank the bottom two teams in Division 1, and if the 2nd placed team in Division 2 wins the final, they are ranked above the 1st place finishers who lost the final.
  • If Westmeath reach the Leinster final, then an 8th team will be chosen based on league position.

The other 17 county teams compete in the 2023 Tailteann Cup.

In the All-Ireland Championship round-robin, 16 teams are drawn into four groups of four teams. Each team plays the other teams in its group once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Each team plays one home, one away and one neutral fixture.

The top three in each group advance to the knockout stages; first-place teams to the All-Ireland quarter-finals, and second- and third-placed teams to the preliminary quarter-finals. ^[7]

All-Ireland format

The four second-placed teams play against the third-placed teams in the preliminary quarter-finals. The winners of the preliminary quarter-finals advance to play the group winners in the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Two semi-finals and a final follow. All matches are knock-out.

Incidents

Armagh v Monaghan quarter-final

During the All-Ireland quarter-final clash between Armagh and Monaghan, Gardaí arrested seven people and 15 fans were ejected from Croke Park after a fight broke out on Hill 16 before the penalty shoot-out. ^[30] Video footage later emerged on social media showing blows being exchanged between Armagh and Monaghan fans and some of those involved being knocked to the ground. ^[31] The footage was condemned by the GAA, saying it represented "unacceptable behaviour from a small number of supporters", warning fans that Hill 16 could be converted to seats if fighting in the terraced stand continued. ^{[32] [33]}

Earlier in the match, the Hawk-Eye score detection system malfunctioned again after it returned a 'data unavailable' message. ^[34] The GAA requested an explanation from Hawk-Eye who concluded that the message was a result of operator error. ^[35] The next day the GAA took the decision to stand down Hawk-Eye once again. ^[36]
