Description
The Tailteann Cup is a second tier Gaelic football championship competition held annually since 2022 and organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is contested by those county teams who do not qualify for the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship and the winner is awarded the Tailteann Cup.
The name 'Tailteann' comes from the ancient Tailteann Games.
The title has been won by 3 different counties, none of whom have won the title more than once; as the prize for the winner is automatic entry to the following year's All-Ireland championship, it is not possible to defend a title. The all-time record-holders are therefore Down, Meath and Westmeath, who have won the cup on 1 occasion each. Down are the title holders, defeating Laois by 0-14 to 2-06 in the 2024 final. Down are also the only team to appear in the final twice, runners-up in the 2023 showpiece before victory in 2024.
