All-Ireland football format could change from 2017

The GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) is to present counties with three proposals for a revamped All-Ireland senior football championships before Christmas.

At Thursday’s Cork County Board meeting, Central Council delegate Bob Ryan revealed discussions had taken place in relation to the All-Ireland structure from 2017 onwards.

While the majority view was the provincial championships should remain unchanged, there is a possibility of change to the All-Ireland series and counties will be canvassed for views on the CCCC’s three proposals.
