The TG4 All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies Football Championship Final is one of the most significant days in the Ladies GAA calendar - the game where promotion is on the line as much as silverware. The 2026 final brings Laois and Tyrone to Croke Park, with both counties battling for the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup and the prize that matters most: a place in the Senior championship for 2027. If you follow county football and want to see a match with genuine stakes played in front of a big crowd at Ireland’s greatest stadium, this is a fine choice.
The Intermediate Final is the middle game in a triple-header at Croke Park on Sunday 2 August. The Junior Final goes off at 11.45am, the Intermediate kicks in at 1.45pm, and the Senior Final follows at 4.15pm - so you can make a full day of it if you arrive early. The atmosphere on All-Ireland Finals day at Croke Park is unlike almost anything else in Irish sport, with fans from multiple counties filling the stands across several hours.
The Intermediate grade sits between Junior and Senior and tends to produce hard, physical football - these are counties hungry to move up a level. Laois were beaten finalists in the 2025 Intermediate Final against Tyrone, so there is a rematch edge to this one. The Mary Quinn Memorial Cup is named in honour of a Leitrim LGFA figure, and the championship has been running since 1997.
Croke Park is on Jones’s Road, Dublin 3, well served by Dublin Bus and the DART (Clonliffe Road is a short walk). The Luas Red Line stops at Connolly Station, from which it is a 15-minute walk. If you are driving up from Roscommon or elsewhere in the midlands, follow the M4 or M6 into Dublin and allow extra time for city traffic on match day. Street parking near the ground is heavily restricted; use park-and-ride options or a city-centre car park.
If the match has you passing through Co. Roscommon on the way to or from Dublin, it is well worth a stop. There is more to see in Roscommon and across Co. Roscommon.
