Provinces with highest number of different winning counties

The provinces providing the highest number of different winning counties are Leinster and Ulster, with six each. Dublin, Meath, Wexford, Kildare, Offaly and Louth from Leinster have won the title, while Cavan, Down, Tyrone, Donegal, Armagh and Derry are the successful Ulster sides. For Leinster's 12 counties, this represents a success rate of 50%, while Ulster's nine counties gives them a success rate of 67%. Four of Munster's six counties have won the title, giving an identical success rate to Ulster, while three of Connacht's five counties have been successful, a success rate of 60%.

Least successful counties

There are eight counties that have never been represented in a Senior All-Ireland Final. These are Carlow, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Sligo, Westmeath, Wicklow, Longford, and New York. Four of these counties have never competed in a semi-final: Waterford, Westmeath, Wicklow, and New York.

Kilkenny currently do not compete in the All-Ireland Championship, having won three Leinster Senior Football Championships in the past, with the county instead prominent in the sport of hurling but have won the Junior All Ireland in 2022. Carlow also compete in hurling and have won an All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship. Westmeath have enjoyed considerable success in hurling in recent years, winning a number of All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championships and Christy Ring Cups, and their Gaelic football team won the 2004 Leinster Football Championship and the inaugural Tailteann Cup in 2022.

Fermanagh came their closest in 2004, reaching a semi-final replay having defeated 1999 Champions Meath, 2002 Munster Champions Cork, 2003 All-Ireland semi-finalists Donegal and 2002 Champions Armagh.[1] Wicklow's most notable recent achievement was winning the 2012 NFL Division 4 final.

Levels

In the last few years, counties can be divided into four levels or tiers, based off of results: Tier 1 counties are consistent participants in the latter stage of the All-Ireland. Tier 2 counties usually compete in the All-Ireland championship or the Tailteann Cup. Tier 3 counties are consistent participants in the Tailteann Cup. Tier 4 counties usually compete in the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship. There is a big gap between Tier 1, 2 and 3 counties and Tier 4 counties. Tier 4 counties also do not participate in the provincial championships.

Tier 1 counties (12): Armagh, Cork, Derry, Donegal, Dublin, Galway, Kerry, Kildare, Mayo, Monaghan, Roscommon, Tyrone

Tier 2 counties (11): Cavan, Clare, Down, Limerick, Longford, Louth, Meath, Offaly, Sligo, Tipperary, Westmeath

Tier 3 counties (10): Antrim, Carlow, Fermanagh, Laois, Leitrim, London, New York, Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow

Tier 4 counties (7): Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, Kilkenny, Scotland, Warwickshire, Yorkshire

Unbeaten sides

  • 132 teams have won the All-Ireland SFC unbeaten out of a possible 136.

Beaten sides

The introduction of the qualifier system in 2001 has resulted in 4 'back-door' All-Ireland champions:

  • Galway (2001) were beaten by Roscommon in the Connacht semi-finals.
  • Tyrone (2005) were beaten by Armagh in the Ulster final.
  • Kerry (2006) were beaten by Cork in the Munster final.
  • Cork (2010) were beaten by Kerry in the Munster semi-finals.

On a number of occasions a team was defeated twice but have remained in the knockout championship:

  • Tyrone (2018) were beaten by Monaghan and Dublin but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Mayo (2019) were beaten by Roscommon and Kerry but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Tyrone (2019) were beaten by Donegal and Dublin but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Cork (2023) were beaten by Clare and Kerry but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Armagh (2023) were beaten by Derry and Tyrone but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Tyrone (2023) were beaten by Monaghan and Galway but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Roscommon (2023) were beaten by Galway and Kildare but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Kildare (2023) were beaten by Dublin twice but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Donegal (2023) were beaten by Down and Derry but still qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Monaghan (2023) were beaten by Derry and Donegal but still qualified for the knockout stage.

Final success rate

Only 1 county have appeared in the final, being victorious on all occasions:

  • Limerick (Limerick won the first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final and its 100% success rate has only ever been threatened once - in 1896. It remained intact)

On the opposite end of the scale, six counties have appeared in the All-Ireland final, losing on each occasion:

  • Laois (1889, 1936)
  • Antrim (1911, 1912)
  • Waterford (1898)
  • Clare (1917)
  • Monaghan (1930)
  • London (1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1908). In each of London's first four appearances in the Final, they have been the beneficiaries of byes to that stage. From the 1900 Championship to the 1903 Championship, the GAA ran the competition between teams based in Ireland first, with the winners of the 'Home Final' going on to play London in the 'Grand Final'. In 1908 London qualified for the Final by winning the semi-final.

Consecutive participations

  • 0, 000 (0000–0000)

00 have the record number of consecutive participations in the All-Ireland SFC, taking part in the 0 seasons.

Winning other trophies

Although not an officially recognised achievement, a number of teams have achieved the distinction of winning the All-Ireland, their provincial championship and the National Football League all in the same season.

Individual scoring

Cillian O'Connor's four goals (accompanied by nine points) in the 2020 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final at Croke Park broke the 5–3 record set by Johnny Joyce of Dublin in 1960 and matched with 3–9 by Rory Gallagher of Fermanagh in 2002 and O'Connor himself having scored 3-9 vs Limerick in 2018[8] for the highest individual scorer in any championship football match.[9][10]

Team results table

This section represents in colour-coded tabular format the results of GAA county teams in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship since 2001.

Prior to 2001, counties played in separate provincial championships, with only four provincial champions coming together in the All-Ireland semi-finals, and it is difficult to directly compare results across counties. Since 2001, beaten teams from the provincial championships play together in the All-Ireland qualifier series.

However, it must be remembered that counties from the smaller provinces (Connacht with seven county teams and Munster with six) have a slight advantage over those from the larger provinces (Leinster with eleven county teams and Ulster with nine) — they may receive a bye to the provincial semi-final and thus enter the second round of the qualifiers without winning a game, while counties from the larger provinces have to defeat one or even two opponents to reach the provincial semi-final.

The old single knockout format was reintroduced in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2022 a new competition was introduced, the Tailteann Cup, for teams that finished 17th–32nd in the National Football League and that did not reach their provincial final. These teams go straight into the Tailteann Cup and do not progress to the qualifiers.
