RTÉ reveal their schedule for the 2022 All-Ireland Championships
Nothing sounds quite like the GAA Championships on RTÉ The colour and clamour return this weekend Echoing to the sound of leather on ash, the crash, bang, wallop of a full-blooded tackle and the roar of the crowds, nothing sounds quite like the GAA Championships on RTÉ. This year, RTÉ Sport will, once again, bring the sights and sounds of a championship season to fans across the country with extensive free-to-air coverage from the early beginning of the championship season this weekend right up to the finals.
