The '''2018 [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]]''' was the 131st edition of the [[Gaelic Athletic Association|GAA]]'s premier inter-county [[Gaelic football]] competition since its establishment in 1887.

Thirty-three teams entered the competition – thirty-one of the thirty-two [[counties of Ireland]] ([[Kilkenny GAA|Kilkenny]], as in previous years, did not enter), [[London GAA|London]] and [[New York GAA|New York]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/football/|title=Football – GAA.ie}}</ref>

==Competition format==
'''Provincial Championships format'''

[[Connacht GAA|Connacht]], [[Leinster GAA|Leinster]], [[Munster GAA|Munster]] and [[Ulster GAA|Ulster]] each organise a [[Provinces of Ireland|provincial]] championship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/football/connacht-gaa-football-senior-championship/|title=Connacht Championship @ GAA.ie}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/football/leinster-gaa-football-senior-championship/|title=Leinster Championship @ GAA.ie}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/football/munster-gaa-football-senior-championship/|title=Munster Championship @ GAA.ie}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaa.ie/football/ulster-gaa-football-senior-championship/|title=Ulster Championship @ GAA.ie}}</ref> All provincial matches are knock-out but the teams who lose a match (with the exception of [[New York GAA|New York]]) enter the All-Ireland qualifiers.

'''Qualifiers format'''

Twenty-eight of the twenty-nine teams who were beaten in the provincial championships enter the All-Ireland qualifiers, which have a single-game knockout format. Sixteen of the seventeen teams (New York do not enter the qualifiers) who lost in provincial first round or quarter-final games play eight matches in round 1. The winners play the eight losing provincial semi-finalists in round 2. The eight winning teams from round 2 play-off against each other in round 3, with the four winning teams facing the four losing provincial finalists in round 4 to complete the [[Double-elimination tournament|double-elimination]] format. Further details of the format are included with each qualifier round listed below.

'''All-Ireland format'''

Significant changes to the format of the All-Ireland championship were passed at the [[Gaelic Athletic Association Congress|GAA's Annual Congress]] in February 2017 and implemented in the 2018 championship. The major change was the creation of the All-Ireland Quarter-Final Group Stage commonly known as the "Super 8s", which replaced the knockout quarter-finals. The eight remaining teams in the Championship are split into two groups of four teams. One group features the [[Connacht]] champions, [[Munster]] champions, Leinster runners-up (or the team that defeats them in the qualifiers) and Ulster runners-up (or the team that defeats them in the qualifiers). The reverse is employed for the other group, which features the [[Leinster]] champions, [[Ulster]] champions, Connacht runners-up (or the team that defeats them in the qualifiers) and Munster runners-up (or team that defeats them in the qualifiers).<ref name="Super 8s">{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2017/0225/855359-ga-congress-super-8-replays/|title='Super 8' system to replace Senior Football Championship quarter-finals after GAA vote|work=RTÉ Sport|date=25 February 2017}}</ref>

The top two teams in each of the two Super 8 groups advance to the semi-finals, with the winners of those matches meeting in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.<ref name="Super 8s" /> The All-Ireland final was initially scheduled for 26 August 2018 but was moved to 2 September 2018 to avoid clashing with [[Pope Francis]]'s [[Pope Francis's visit to Ireland|visit to Ireland]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2017/1012/911778-football-final-will-have-a-september-date-in-2018/|title=Football final will have a September date in 2018|work=RTÉ Sport|date=12 October 2017}}</ref>

A number of former players have publicly criticised the new format as they believed it would result in the same top county teams regularly playing at least three high-profile matches in July and August while the remaining teams are without competitive football until the end of December, thereby enabling the top teams to become even more elite. Prominent sportswriter and [[RTÉ Sport]] analyst [[Joe Brolly]] referred to the new system as the "Super 8/Crap 25".<ref>{{cite web|title=GAA hierarchy focuses on the elite and leaves the Crap 25 to fend for themselves|url=https://www.independent.ie/sport/columnists/joe-brolly/joe-brolly-gaa-hierarchy-focuses-on-the-elite-and-leaves-the-crap-25-to-fend-for-themselves-36026741.html|website=Independent.ie|access-date=16 November 2017|language=en}}</ref> The changes were to be trialled for three years before being reviewed by the GAA in late 2020.

==Changes from 2017 Championship==

===Rules===
* From 1 January 2018 the kickout must travel beyond the 20 metre line. Previously the players had to be outside the 20 metre line before the kickout was taken but could run inside to collect possession. If the rule is broken by the team taking the kickout the referee throws the ball up on the 20 metre line between a member of each team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=276377|title=New 20-metre rule means goalkeepers will have to kick longer|work=HoganStand.com|date=30 September 2017}}</ref>
* Replays to only be held for drawn provincial finals and All-Ireland finals. The game continues until a winner is determined in all other championship matches except the Super 8 group matches. Initially two periods of ten minutes each way are played. If the score is still level two further periods of five minutes each way are played. If the score is still level, a [[Glossary of Gaelic games terms#F|free-taking competition]] is held until a winner is determined.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/championship-draw-heralds-new-beginning-for-gaa-1.3261048|title=Championship draw heralds new beginning for GAA|work=[[The Irish Times]]|date=19 October 2017|quote=The abolition of replays will introduce the championship's most dramatic quirk – the possibility of a free-taking competition...This will only happen in the rarest of circumstances, whereby a qualifier game is level after 70 minutes, still level after another two periods of 10 minutes each and then still level after two periods of five minutes each.}}</ref>
* The A and B split system for the qualifier draws introduced in 2014 was discontinued.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/championship-draw-heralds-new-beginning-for-gaa-1.3261048|title=Championship draw heralds new beginning for GAA|work=[[The Irish Times]]|date=19 October 2017|quote=For the first time since 2013, the All-Ireland qualifiers will not be split into A and B sides. Initially a measure designed to create more room in the calendar for club matches, it was done away with in among the raft of broader club-friendly changes at the 2017 Congress.}}</ref>

===Referees' interpretation===
* Players who enter a situation involving two players and cause a melee to receive red cards. Willie Barret, Referees Development Chairman, said "We would be particularly honing in on the first and second person into the melee after the initial two players have been involved."<ref>{{cite web|title=Refs to issue tougher punishment on melees |url=http://www.hoganstand.com/Article/Index/284895|website=www.hoganstand.com|publisher=Hogan Stand|access-date=10 May 2018}}</ref>

==All-Ireland Series==

===Qualifiers===

====Format====
The A and B split system for the qualifier draws introduced in 2014 was discontinued after 2017. In qualifier rounds one to three, teams from divisions three and four of the [[2018 National Football League (Ireland)|2018 National Football League]] had home advantage if drawn against teams from divisions one or two.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/championship-draw-heralds-new-beginning-for-gaa-1.3261048|title=Championship draw heralds new beginning for GAA|date=19 October 2017|work=[[The Irish Times]]|quote=For the first time, in the opening three rounds of the qualifiers home advantage is given to Division Three and Four teams that are drawn against teams from Division One and Two.}}</ref> All qualifier matches were knockout.

;Initial schedule

Qualifiers Round 1: 9 June 2018<br />
Qualifiers Round 2: 23 June 2018<br />
Qualifiers Round 3: 30 June 2018<br />
Qualifiers Round 4: 7 & 8 July 2018

====Round 1====
In the first round, sixteen of the seventeen teams who were beaten in the preliminary rounds or quarter-finals of the [[Provinces of Ireland|provincial]] championships competed. New York did not enter the qualifiers. The round 1 draw was unrestricted − if two teams had previously met in a provincial match they could be drawn to meet again. The eight winners of these matches played the eight losing provincial semi-finalists in round 2 of the qualifiers. The draw was conducted on 28 May 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2018/0528/966521-tyrone-to-take-on-meath-in-qualifiers/|title=Tyrone to take on Meath in Qualifiers|work=RTÉ Sport|date=28 May 2018}}</ref>

====Round 4====
In the fourth round, the four losing provincial finalists played the four winning teams from round 3 of the qualifiers. Round 4 draw rules did not allow teams that have met in a provincial match to meet again if such a pairing could be avoided, which meant [[Fermanagh GAA|Fermanagh]] were kept apart from [[Armagh GAA|Armagh]] and [[Monaghan GAA|Monaghan]], who they had met in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the [[2018 Ulster Senior Football Championship|Ulster Championship]] respectively.

===Group stage===

====Super 8s====
'''Format'''

The four provincial champions and the four winning teams from round four of the All-Ireland qualifiers play three games each in two groups of four teams during the months of July and August. Each group consists of two provincial champions and the two losing finalists of the other two provinces or the team that beats them in round four of the qualifiers.

* The team that won the head-to-head match is ranked first
* If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all group games) is used to rank the teams
* If score difference is identical, total scored is used to rank the teams
