Possible return of All Ireland finals to date in August

The soonest it could happen would be 2027 due to commitments to concerts next year

GAA president Jarlath Burns has revealed that August All-Ireland finals could return in 2027.

The showpiece games are currently slated for July, and Burns confirmed that concerts already scheduled for Croke Park means that a move to August in 2026 is not viable.

Burns also expressed a preference for drawn provincial finals going to replays; rather than penalty shootouts to decide the winner on the day.

However, Burns, stresses that the Association want a solution that eases any concerns from the GAA community.
