They didn't see that coming, strangely.

The knock out championship in 2020, beaten by Cork.

The consistently weaker football counties, the ones who prop up Divison 4, are a mixture of small counties with rushes and counties with good farmland who concentrate on hurling

The last 20 years are not a great dataset for All Ireland semis because from around 2013 on it was often Mayo, Kerry, Dublin and Tyrone.

The 90's was probably the greatest era for football(and hurling ),.

8 different AI winners in 10 years. Two new winners, 11 different finalists, 17 different provincial winners/semi finalists and no one team dominated.

Amazing that the period immediately after that Armagh dominated Ulster with 7 Ulsters out of 10 from 1999 to 2008.

With their noisy neighbours winning three All Irelands in the same period.

That must annoy Armagh fans.

I think Fermanagh 2004 is more existential in Orange County

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on March 05, 2024, 03:17:46 PMSince Roscommon last made an All-Ireland Semi Final in 1991 I have counted 20 of the 31 competing counties on this island have made an All-Ireland Semi Final. Astonishing stat if correct. For a proud football county who compete well at provincial and league level why do they under perform so badly on the main stage.

Below is the year each side last played in an All Ireland Semi. I am open to correction on any of these.

ULSTER
1.   Armagh - 2005
2.   Down - 2010
3.   Donegal - 2014
4.   Derry - 2023
5.   Cavan - 2020
6.   Monaghan - 2023
7.   Tyrone - 2021
8.   Fermanagh - 2004

CONNACHT
9.   Galway - 2022
10.   Mayo - 2021
11.   Leitrim - 1994

MUNSTER
12.   Kerry - 2023
13.   Cork - 2012
14.   Tipperary - 2020
15.   Clare - 1992

LEINSTER
16.   Dublin - 2023
17.   Meath – 2009
18.    Kildare – 2010
19.   Offaly - 1997
20.   Wexford – 2008

TEAMS WHO HAVE NOT MADE ALL IRELAND SEMIS IN THAT PERIOD AND YEAR OF LAST APPEARANCE
1.   Antrim - 1951
2.   Sligo - 1975
3.   Roscommon - 1991
4.   Laois - 1946
5.   Westmeath - N/A
6.   Carlow - 1944
7.   Longford - 1968
8.   Louth - 1957
9.   Wicklow – N/A
10.   Kilkenny - 1911
11.   Waterford - 1898
12.   Limerick – 1896

Westmeath and Wicklow are the only two teams who have not made an All Ireland Semi Final in their history.

After Louths win I now make that 21 counties since Roscommons last semi final appearance.

Laois Westmeath and Sligo have also matched their achievement of a provincial win in that period.

So that leaves just Antrim, Longford Wicklow Kilkenny Limerick Waterford Carlow.

No excuse but 26 counties have also a greater population. Of course we last made a semi when a provincial title got you there. Was there that day, it was a tough defeat. I have faith we'll get there soon.

This was the year i thought it would happen. Of course it's not a fair comparison with the different formats but its a fascinating stat nonetheless for such a strong football county.

armaghniac · June 30, 2026, 12:20:58 PM

It is hardly inconceivable that Westmeath could now make a semi-final, they are now not that far away.
Wicklow have a bit to go.

Provincial titles are not the same as all Ireland semi final. None of Laois, Westmeath and Sligo made it to the semi final. Kilkenny Limerick and Waterford qualified for the hurling.

That's why I said they have matched roscommon achievement of winning a provincial in the period since they last made a Semi.

Antrim another team who have made it beyond a hurling semi final in 1989. Leaves just Longford Wicklow and Carlow then.

Also Limerick have made a football quarter final in that period if im not mistaken.
