2025 Allianz National Football League Kicks Off January 25

The 2025 Allianz National Football League kicks off on January 25, featuring a highly anticipated rematch between last year's All-Ireland finalists Armagh and Galway in Salthill. This opening weekend also includes significant matches such as Derry facing Tyrone and Dublin taking on Mayo, while hurling games feature Cork visiting Wexford and Clare hosting Kilkenny. The league will conclude with finals in late March and early April, with the football championship beginning immediately after. Armagh, returning to Division One after last season’s promotion, aims to build on their previous successes, including a notable victory over Tyrone. Meanwhile, Tyrone has a new manager, Malachy O'Rourke, as they look to regain their footing after relegation. The GAA has implemented new rules for this season, affecting both football and hurling fixtures.
