The All-Ireland Football 7’s has been a key event in the football calendar for nearly 50 years and is the second weekend in the month of national 7’s competitions. Football was the first All-Ireland 7’s event hosted at Kilmacud Crokes with UCD winning the inaugural competition in 1973. Since then the competition has grown on a national level with several clubs specialising in the 7’s format with the likes of Corofin of Co. Galway, St. Galls of Co. Antrim and Bryansford of Co. Down among multiple winners of the competition. 

This year’s competition will see 32 clubs from around the country competing for the coveted “third” All-Ireland.
