"Wee County face potential semi-final with Dublin in defence of their Leinster title, while Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal are on the same side of the draw in northern province"
"Leinster champions Louth have a difficult path back to a fourth straight provincial final after ending up on the same side of the draw as former manager Ger Brennan's Dublin for 2026."
"Brennan managed the Wee County to a first Leinster title in 68 years when they beat Meath in the final at Croke Park in May."
Louth could meet Dublin in a Leinster semi-final after the draw placed them on the same side, complicating their bid to reach a fourth consecutive provincial final in 2026. The draw pairs Leinster champions with former manager Ger Brennan's Dublin, making the route back to the decider more challenging. In Ulster, Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal all landed on the same side of the draw, setting up significant provincial matchups. Brennan previously led Louth to their first Leinster title in 68 years when they beat Meath in the Croke Park final in May.
