The 2001 Bank of Ireland All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 115th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship , the Gaelic Athletic Association 's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 6 May 2001 and ended on 23 September 2001.
The format of the championship saw the biggest change in over 100 years with the introduction of the All-Ireland qualifiers. This system saw teams who were defeated in the provincial championships enter a secondary championship and the chance to qualify for the All-Ireland series. The Leinster Championship abandoned its group stage and returned to a straight knockout system. London declined to field a team in the championship due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease .
Kerry entered the championship as the defending champions , however, they were defeated by Meath in the All-Ireland semi-final.[1]
On 23 September 2001, Galway won the championship following an 0-17 to 0-8 defeat of Meath in the All-Ireland final. This was their ninth All-Ireland title and their first in three championship seasons. Galway also became the first county to win the All Ireland by coming through the Qualifiers after losing the Connacht Semi-Final to Roscommon, they beat Wicklow, Armagh and Cork in the Qualifiers where they again met Roscommon in the All Ireland Quarter-Final. This time they got revenge by beating them. Beating Derry in the All Ireland Semi-Final and Meath in the Final to claim their ninth All Ireland Title.
Galway's Pádraic Joyce was the championship's top scorer with 3-45. He was also named as the Texaco Footballer of the Year , while Declan Meehan was chosen as the All Stars Footballer of the Year .
Format [ ]
The provincial championships in Munster , Leinster , Ulster and Connacht ran as usual on a "knock-out" basis. But for the first time, these provincial games were then followed by the "Qualifier" system:
Round 1 of the qualifiers included all the counties that did not qualify for the Provincial Semi-Finals, except for New York . An open draw was made to give eight pairings.
Round 2 consisted of the eight defeated teams in the Provincial Semi-Finals playing against the eight winners from Round 1. A draw was made to determine the eight pairings.
Round 3 consisted of the 8 winners from Round 2 playing each other in an open draw format.
Round 4 consisted of each of the four teams defeated in the Provincial Finals shall playing against the four winners from Round 3. A draw was made to determine the four pairings.
The Leinster football championship reverts to normal just 1 Round pre to Quarter-Finals.
In the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals, each of the four Provincial Champions played one of the four winners from Round 4. The All-Ireland Semi-Finals were determined on a provincial rota basis, initially determined by the Central Council. If a Provincial Championship winning team was defeated in its Quarter-Final, the team that defeats it took its place in the Semi-Final.
