The TG4 All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Championship Final is one of the great days in the Irish sporting calendar, and the 2026 edition brings an Armagh side that have the county buzzing. Three-in-a-row Ulster champions, Armagh opened their All-Ireland series with a statement 4-10 to 1-9 win over Cork, Aimee Mackin scoring a first-half hat-trick. They followed that with a 2-15 to 1-15 victory over Waterford. This is a team in form, led by one of the best forwards in the women’s game, and an Armagh appearance in the final would be the biggest occasion for the county’s ladies footballers in years. If you have any connection to Armagh - or if you just want to see top-level women’s Gaelic football at the home of the GAA - this is worth the trip to Dublin.
The day at Croke Park is a full programme of ladies football, not just the senior showpiece. The Junior Final throws in at 11.45am, the Intermediate Final at 1.45pm, and the Senior Final at 4.15pm. Arriving early for the junior or intermediate game means you settle into the atmosphere gradually, and the ground fills steadily through the afternoon. Croke Park holds over 82,000 and on All-Ireland final day the stands fill with colour and noise. TG4 broadcast the senior final live, so the production values and atmosphere are at the highest level Irish ladies football reaches. Armagh supporters in orange and white have been travelling in numbers all season; if the team progress through the quarter-final (5/6 July) and semi-final (18 July), expect a huge following from the north.

From the north, Bus Eireann and Translink run coaches into Dublin; many supporters choose organised buses from Armagh town and surrounding areas for All-Ireland final day. The city centre is walkable from Croke Park if you want to eat before or after.
