ANTRIM GAA have announced the fixture dates and venues for the 2025 Gaelic Football Championships this summer.

All three tiers were announced on Tuesday evening by Official County Channels with some cracking ties to come in July and August.

As a reminder, the previous winners of the three competitions are Cargin, All Saints and St Comgall's.

Erin’s Own Cargin clinch a three-repeat of Senior Championships after they defeated Portglenone at Corrigan Park after a gruelling affair that went to extra-time.

In the Intermediate Championship, Ballymena All Saints were crowned as victors after they overcame St Teresa’s and continued that form this season as they finished in the league play-off phase in Division One.

And in the Junior Championship, St Comgall’s clinched a double after they won both the Junior and Division Three titles when they defeated St Agnes’ at Hightown with a three-point victory at the home of St Enda’s.

Last month the draws were made for all three competitions, with some tasty ties on the horizon this summer.

The Junior draw saw eight teams split into two groups, with the first place guaranteeing a semi-final spot, meanwhile second and third head for a quarter-final play-off. The winner/runner-up guarantees themselves promotion to the second tier, with St Agnes’ already winning the Third Division.

The Intermediate competition saw a similar format, this time with the added threat of relegation coming into play.

Ten teams were split into two groups of five. First and second will qualify for the semi-finals, but the bottom placed sides both battling it out in a relegation play-off with the loser heading for the Junior and Division Three next season.

The intermediate winner/runner-up will join Sarsfields after their invincible run in the Second Division sees them promoted.

And finally, in the top tier, Antrim’s Senior Championship will be its biggest yet with 16 teams competing to overthrow reigning champions Cargin.

The 16 teams will be split into four groups of the same number, with the top two qualifying for the quarter-finals. Each fourth placed side will then enter a group play-off with the loser of both the semi-final and final being relegated to the second-tier next season.

Belfast Media will be providing coverage of the games throughout all three tournaments, with post-match reports and Matchday Live experiences available both on the web and in the weekly print editions of the Andersonstown News/North Belfast News.

The first date for the diary is July 30th when the opening round of the Intermediate Championship begins.

The pick of the ties could be between 2024 finalists St Teresa’s who welcome the newly promoted and reigning Junior champions St Comgall’s.

Elsewhere, some other key fixtures see Éire Óg travel to Laochra Loch Lao on Friday August 1st in the Junior Championship, with the Ógs determined to rectify a poor season, but face Laochra Loch Lao who will also be keen on trying to win the club's first major honour.

The Senior competition is the last to start with games on all three weekend days. The tie of the round is on Sunday, August 3rd as Lámh Dhearg welcome St Gall’s to Hannahstown after the league fixture between the sides saw a controversial ending when the Lámh’s ran out victors, a game that could prove detrimental for both sides in their Championship campaigns.
