Format

A league format will return for the first time since 2018. Six teams enter, and each plays two games against other teams (Sligo–Mayo, Galway–London, Roscommon–Leitrim, Leitrim–Galway, London–Sligo, Mayo–Roscommon), each team playing one home game and one away, and earning two points for a win and one for a draw. The top two teams go into the FBD League final; third and fourth place play in a Shield final, and fifth and sixth play a Plate final. ^[4]
