An A and B system for the qualifying draws was introduced in 2014 and has been retained. The teams are designated as A or B depending on which half of their provincial championships they are initially drawn to play in. Although some teams receive byes in the early provincial rounds, they are usually drawn randomly into the round in which they enter the competition resulting in teams being designated as A or B randomly.
A: Clare, Limerick, Kerry, Roscommon, Leitrim, Sligo, Derry, Tyrone, Cavan, Armagh, Laois, Wicklow, Dublin, Louth,Carlow, Meath
B: Tipperary, Waterford, Cork, Mayo, London, Galway, Monaghan, Down, Donegal, Fermanagh, Antrim, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath, Wexford, Kildare
In all qualifier rounds A teams play A teams and B teams play B teams. Usually the A teams play their provincial games before the B teams which allows the A qualifier games to be scheduled a week before the B qualifier games.
