TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC Semi-Finals 2026
At Croke Park · Jones' Road, Dublin 3
At Croke Park · Jones' Road, Dublin 3
The TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship semi-finals are one of the stand-out days in the Irish sporting calendar - two matches on the same afternoon at Croke Park, with a place in the All-Ireland Final the prize. Armagh, who came through Group 1 alongside Cork and Waterford, are among the four counties contesting this double-header. For anyone who follows the Orchard County’s women, this is the big one.
Two senior games fill the afternoon, with throw-in times of 3:15pm and 5:15pm, both broadcast live on TG4. The LGFA semi-finals at Croke Park typically draw sizeable, vocal crowds - this is not a half-empty stadium occasion. The atmosphere is different to club GAA: more colour, bigger numbers on the terraces, and the sense that the whole country is watching.
Armagh’s women have been building steadily. Their group stage campaign included a clash with Cork - one of the perennial powers of ladies football - and reaching the semi-final means they have beaten strong opposition along the way. The exact pairings for the semi-finals will be confirmed after the quarter-finals on 4-5 July, so check ladiesgaelic.ie for the confirmed draw before you travel.
The 2026 TG4 All-Ireland Senior Final is fixed for Sunday 2 August at 4:15pm, also at Croke Park.
Croke Park is at Jones’ Road, Dublin 3 - well served by public transport. Dublin Bus routes 1, 11, 13 and 16 stop nearby. Connolly Station is about a 20-25 minute walk, and the DART will get you to Connolly from the south side or the north. There is no match-day car parking at the stadium, so public transport is the practical choice. Trains from Belfast serve Connolly directly, which suits travelling Armagh supporters well.
If you are making a weekend of it, the journey down through Co. Armagh is worth the time - the Apple County has an orchard landscape unlike anywhere else in Ireland, and Armagh city itself has two cathedrals and a fine Georgian streetscape. There is more to see in Armagh and across Co. Armagh.
