THE GAA have confirmed the seedings for the group stage draws in the Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cups, which will take place at 1pm on Tuesday.

The draws will be broadcast live on GAA.ie by Gráinne McElwain and conducted by Uachtarán Larry McCarthy who will be joined by former Dublin footballer Paddy Andrews.

The confirmed seedings for the Sam Maguire Cup are:
1st seeds: Galway/Sligo, Kerry/Clare, Dublin/Louth and Armagh/Derry
2nd seeds: Galway/Sligo, Kerry/Clare, Dublin/Louth and Armagh/Derry

2nd seeds: Down, Offaly, Antrim, Wicklow
3rd seeds: Longford, Tipperary, Laois, Wexford

In the Sam Maguire Cup Draw, the 16 participating Counties will be drawn to four separate groups.

Teams will be seeded based on championship and league performance and each group will feature four teams (each group consisting of a first, second, third and fourth seed).

The provincial champions will each be a first seed, with the runners-up being second seeds. The third seeds will be the four highest placed
teams from the 2023 leagues, who did not make a provincial final.

The fourth seeds will include Westmeath – as the 2022 Tailteann Cup Champions – and the next three highest placed teams from the
conclusion of this year’s leagues.

Teams who are due to meet in a provincial final cannot be in the same group. However, teams who have already played each other earlier
in this year’s championships can be drawn to the same groups.
