The GAA has confirmed schedule details for most of Ireland’s upcoming soccer and hurling championships and the conclusion of the Allianz Football League.

Venues for the championship games in Leinster have yet to be confirmed, and the Leinster Council decided to wait and see what Covid-19 restrictions are in effect closer to the time.

The Ireland-wide pitching semifinals will be played on November 28 and 29 with the football quarterfinals on December 5 and 6.

The Munster Hurling Finals and the Connacht Soccer Finals will take center stage on Sunday 15 November, the day after the Leinster Hurling Finals.

Leinster’s decisive soccer game takes place in Croke Park on the 100th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, November 21, to be held at the venue.

The Ulster and Munster Soccer Finals are Sunday, November 22.

The Joe McDonagh Cup final is the same day as the hurling final, December 13, six days before the soccer final, which is Saturday December 19.

The last two rounds of the soccer league will be completed over two weekends 17-18 and 24-25 October, with an even distribution of matches between Saturday and Sunday.

The Westmeath and Laois Division 2 meet and the Division 4 game between Wicklow and Antrim begin at 2 p.m. on Saturday the 17th, making them the first competitive inter-county games to be played in more than seven months.

On the same day, the Dublin footballers will play their first league game at Parnell Park since 2010 when they face Meath in Division 1 and RTÉ Sport will televise the Division 2 match of Armagh and Roscommon.

The Division 2A, 2B and 3A hurling finals will take place on October 18, while the Clare-Limerick Munster SHC quarterfinals on October 25 will double as the Division 1 final. Donegal beat Armagh in the final of the 3A in March.
