The draw took place on 26 September 2018.[2]

Several new rules are being trialled in the competition:

  • four consecutive handpasses were forbidden
  • the "advanced mark" was introduced
  • sideline kicks must go forward (unless inside the attacking 20-metre line)
  • all kickouts are from the 20-metre line
  • a "sin bin" for a black card offence.[3][4]

It was won by Westmeath.[5]

Competition format

One team (Dublin) received a bye to the semi-finals. The remaining ten teams were drawn to play in one group of four teams and two groups of three teams.

In the four-team group, each team plays the other teams in their group once. Two points are awarded for a win and one for a draw.

In the two three-team groups, each team played the other teams in their group once. Each team also played one game against a team from the other three-team group. Two points are awarded for a win and one for a draw.

The three group winners advanced to the semi-finals.
