New second tier All-Ireland football championship to be called Tailteann Cup

"In ancient Ireland, our athletic and sporting prowess was celebrated every summer by the staging of the Tailteann Games, a festival that some scholars date as far back as 1600BC."

The new second tier All-Ireland football championship will be called the Tailteann Cup.

GAA president John Horan at Congress this afternoon revealed the name of the trophy for the Division 3 and 4 teams who do not reach their respective provincial finals and therefore are not permitted entry into the qualifiers.
