Master fixture list 2019:
The GAA has just published its master fixtures list for 2019.
There will be no major changes in the Allianz Leagues because 2019 is Year 2 of a two-year cycle.
It is worth noting though that the AFL Round 6 and AHL semi-finals will take place on Saturday, March 16 to avoid a clash with the All-Ireland Club Finals on St. Patrick’s Day.
In an effort to further streamline the playing calendar, the 2019 Sigerson Cup Final will now take place mid-week on Wednesday, February 20th
Once again, the month of April will be a club month entirely clear of inter-county activity.
One potential change to the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship for 2019 has been a request to Central council to consider granting deviation from Rule 6.28 to allow for Phase 1 quarter-finals to be home games for the provincial champions with Phase 2 games being in Croke Park.
For 2019, CCCC recommends to Central Council that in accordance with Rule 6.28 that the groupings for the 2018 Quarter-Final Group Stage should be as follows:
Group 1: Munster winners, Ulster winners, Leinster runners up (or Rd 4 winner), Connacht runners-up (or Rd 4 winner)
Group 2: Leinster winners, Connacht winners, Munster runners-up (or Rd 4 winner), Ulster runners-up (or Rd 4 winner)
The CCCC has proposed an U20 Football Development League competition to be played in May and early June which would guarantee each county at least four games in a development league plus one championship match.
Challenge games would not be permitted, they would be replaced by the development league. Central Council have also been asked to consider a motion to Congress to allow players to be eligible for U20 once their senior team has exited the All-Ireland Championship.
Central Council has also been asked to facilitate a motion to Congress to replace frees with penalties for ‘winner on the day’ deciders.
