The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the inter-county Gaelic football tournament played between 31 counties of Ireland, London and New York . The draw for the 2009 championship took place on 9 October 2008.[1] The tournament began on 10 May 2009.
The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final took place on 20 September 2009, contested by Cork and Kerry . This was the year Tadhg Kennelly made history by becoming the first person to ever hold AFL Premiership and All-Ireland winning medals in the sports of Australian rules football and Gaelic football—he previously won the biggest prize in Australian rules with Sydney Swans in 2005.[2] [3] [4]
Structure [ ]
Four knockout (single elimination format) provincial championships are played. London and New York compete in Connacht. The 4 provincial champions advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
The 16 teams eliminated before reaching a provincial semi-final compete in Round One of the Qualifiers (New York do not compete in the Qualifiers). The 8 Round One winners advance to Round Two.
Qualifiers, Round Two: The 8 teams eliminated in provincial semi-finals each play one of the 8 Round One winners.
Qualifiers, Round Three: The 8 Round Two winners play off to reduce the number to 4.
Qualifiers, Round Four: The 4 teams eliminated in provincial finals each play one of the 4 Round Three winners.
All-Ireland Quarter-Finals: The 4 provincial champions each play one of the 4 Round Four winners.
The winners of the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals then advance to the Semi-Finals, and the winners of the Semi-Finals go on to the 2009 All-Ireland Final.
