From 2025, players can line out for both providing games are 60 hours apart.

Cork’s motion to relax the eligibility for players lining out in U20 and senior inter-county championship was passed at Congress in Newry this morning.

From next year and applicable at all levels, players will be permitted to play at both levels providing the games don’t fall within the same 60-hour period. Currently, a player can only line out for both when there is at least seven days between the matches.
