All-Ireland Series Sam Maguire 2026

[Aaron Boone]

The CCCCC will have their hands full with this draw.

And the CCCC?

[imtommygunn]

Some interesting games - most would maybe have clear favourites though.

Derry Meath hardest to call for me.

(Maybe Tyrone Mayo hard to call too)

[maddog]

Derry v Meath
Kildare V Kerry
Cavan v Dublin
Monaghan v Roscommon
Donegal v Cork
Galway v Westmeath
Tyrone v Mayo
Louth v Armagh

[Armagh18]

Dublin and Kerry be happy enough, as will Galway and Donegal. Would have preferred a home draw for us, where will Louth play their home game?

[imtommygunn]

They wouldn't fit the armagh crowd into their home ground.

Derry v Meath - Meath. Meath's biggest weakness is teams running at them and Derry don't.
Kildare V Kerry Kerry.
Cavan v Dublin Dublin
Monaghan v Roscommon Roscommon
Donegal v Cork Donegal
Galway v Westmeath Galway
Tyrone v Mayo Tyrone though hard to know if something in Mayo.
Louth v Armagh You'd expect Armagh though maybe potential for an upset too. I think Louth better than rest of Ulster bar Donegal.

Interesting draw for Tyrone after being well beaten by Mayo in Omagh this time last year. Hopefully the management and players will have learned from then.

[Armagh18]

Derry v Meath
Kildare V Kerry
Cavan v Dublin
Monaghanv Roscommon
Donegal v Cork
Galway v Westmeath
Tyrone v Mayo
Louth v Armagh

Derry Meath and Tyrone Mayo hard to call and obviously you never know with Monaghan, Cavan a potential banana skin for Dublin if they can bring what the did in patches last week. Nice handy for Kerry again to get back up to speed...

[tyroneStatto]

Kerry and Dublin will be happy enough in the other section especially Kerry. They couldn't have asked for a handier draw.

[Armagh18]

Warmed balls for sure lol

2A should be wins for Donegal, Galway, Armagh.  Tyrone v Mayo 50/50

In 2B

Derry v Meath and Monaghan v Roscommon 50/50

Kerry and Dublin couldn't hand pick better draws.

[twohands!!!]

Kerry and Dublin will be happy enough in the other section especially Kerry. They couldn't have asked for a handier draw.

If Kerry were playing Kildare at home  and Dublin were playing Cavan at home those games would surely be handier?

Cork with the toughest draw - having to play Donegal away, good chance the crowd will be 90%+ Donegal supporters.

It will be interesting to see if there is much of a difference between the do-or-die games down the closing stretch versus the games with a 2nd chance.

Not so sure about that. Monaghan are sticky hoors,  home game and nothing to lose

Can't see Monaghan beating Roscommon.

Probably not but if they played for 70 minutes instead of 25 they've a chance. Even Tyrone beat the Rossies sure
