The GAA has published next year's master fixtures list with the new split season squeezing the inter-county fixtures into just 26 weeks.
As usual, the Allianz National Football and Hurling Leagues will get the inter-county season underway, this year on January 29th.
The football league's four divisions will each play seven rounds, culminating in each division's final on the weekend of April 2nd/3rd.
The hurling league will again be broken into three divisions, each divided into an A and B group. The hurling semi-finals and relegation play-offs across the three divisions are scheduled to be played on the weekend of March 26th/27th, while the finals will take place on the same weekend as the football finals.
Here's all the fixtures to look forward to in the 2022 Allianz National Leagues...
The #GAA today announced its inter-county Master Fixtures list for 2022. The new split-season approach means that the average inter-county season length for each county has been reduced from 35 weeks to 26 weeks. #GAABelong
