# 2024 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship

The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship was the 51st edition of the Ladies' Gaelic Football Association's premier inter-county ladies' Gaelic football tournament, that took place in spring-summer 2024 in Ireland.

## Format
### Provincial championships

The 12 teams first play in their provincial championships. Connacht and Ulster each contain two teams, so their championships are played as a single match.
In Leinster and Munster, there are four teams in the provincial championships. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.

### Group stage

The 12 teams are drawn into four groups of three teams; seeding is based on performance in the provincial championships. Each team plays each other team in its group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.

### Tiebreakers for group ranking

If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:
* winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
* if the head-to-head match was a draw, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12)
* if the head-to-head match was an exact draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
* if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored
If three teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.

### Relegation

The last-placed teams in the groups play off to decide which team is relegated to the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship. Provincial champions are exempt from relegation.

### Knockout stage

The top two in each group progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Quarter-finals and semi-finals are "results on the day," with 20 minutes' extra time being played in the event of a draw, and a free-kick shootout being taken from a 30 m (33 yd) distance in the event of a draw after extra time. If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed.
