There are 358 sides comprising of 23 divisions with an extra girls division added since the initial draw on April 4th at the Connacht GAA centre. There are 13 boys divisions with 10 girls divisions. In all but one division there are 16 teams in each division
A new division 6 in LGFA was created with the initial 6 now becoming division 7. As a natural consequence the initial division 7 LGFA becomes division 8. The initial division 8 LGFA becomes division 9 and the initial division 9 LGFA becomes a new division 10. Not one change was made to any pairing or group in these LGFA divisions as one will see from viewing them.
In the boys section a small number of sides withdrew following the draw and they were replaced so that is reflected in the pairings.
