### All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals

The third-placed teams in the Leinster and Munster championships play the two teams who competed in the Joe McDonagh Cup Final, with the two Joe McDonagh finalists having home advantage. The Joe McDonagh champions, Laois, face third-placed Leinster team, Dublin, in the first preliminary quarter final, while the runners-up, Westmeath, meet Cork, the third-placed team from Munster, in the other preliminary quarter final.

### All-Ireland quarter-finals

The beaten Leinster and Munster finalists play the winners of the two preliminary quarter-finals. If a third-place finisher from a provincial round-robin wins their preliminary quarter-final, they will be kept apart from the team they have already met in the round-robin phase to prevent a repeat fixture. Both games are held at neutral venues.

### All-Ireland semi-finals

The Leinster and Munster champions play the winners of the two quarter-finals. The semi-finals take place in Croke Park in the last weekend of July.

## Stadiums and locations
### Teams and venues

Each team has a nominal home stadium for the round-robin series of the provincial championships.
In the knockout stage, teams from the provincial round-robin series will not have home advantage, if avoidable. The only teams to play knockout games at home are the two Joe McDonagh Cup finalists, who have home advantage in the preliminary quarter-finals. The Munster final was held at a neutral venue which was decided based on the qualifying teams, while the locations of the two quarter-finals were decided based on similar considerations. The Leinster final, and the semi-finals and final of the All-Ireland series are held in the 82,300-capacity Croke Park in Dublin, headquarters of the GAA.
