County Championships Ireland's 32 counties play their county championships between their intermediate gaelic football clubs. Each county decides the format for determining their county champions. The format can be straight  knockout, double-elimination, a league or a combination. Provincial Championships Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship for their participating county champions. All matches are knock-out and two ten minute periods of extra time are played if it's a draw at the end of normal time. All-Ireland Two semi-finals are usually played on a Saturday in late January. The All-Ireland intermediate final is normally played in Croke Park in early February. County Finals. Connacht. Galway IFC Leitrim IFC Mayo IFC Roscommon IFC Sligo IFC Leinster.
