The 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 124th edition of the GAA 's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament, played between 31 of the 32 counties of Ireland plus London and New York .
The draw for the championship took place on 22 October 2009.[1] The championship began on 2 May 2010 and concluded with the All-Ireland final at Croke Park on 19 September 2010. Cork defeated Down by 0-16 to 0-15 to win their seventh All-Ireland senior title, and their first since 1990.
The 2010 championship was unusual in that all four provincial champions (Kerry , Meath , Roscommon and Tyrone ) were knocked out in the All-Ireland quarter-finals,[2] and all four provincial runners-up (Limerick , Louth , Sligo and Monaghan ) were eliminated in the fourth and final round of the All-Ireland qualifiers. Kerry and Sligo were defeated by Down , Meath and Monaghan by Kildare , Roscommon and Limerick by Cork , and Tyrone and Louth by Dublin . Cork then defeated Dublin in the first All-Ireland semi-final, before Down defeated Kildare in the second.
Format [ ]
Four knockout (single elimination format) provincial championships were played. London and New York competed in Connacht. The four provincial champions advanced to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
The 16 teams eliminated before reaching a provincial semi-final competed in Round One of the Qualifiers (New York did not compete). The eight winners of Round One advanced to Round Two.
Qualifiers, Round Two: The eight teams eliminated in provincial semi-finals each played one of the eight winners of Round One.
Qualifiers, Round Three: The eight winners of Round Two played off to reduce the number to four.
Qualifiers, Round Four: The four teams eliminated in provincial finals each played one of the four winners of Round Three.
All-Ireland Quarter-Finals: The four provincial champions each played one of the four winners of Round Four.
The winners of the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals then advanced to the Semi-Finals, and the winners of the Semi-Finals went on to the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final .
