The championship began on 6 May 2001 and ended on 23 September 2001. The format of the championship saw the biggest change in over 100 years with the introduction of the All-Ireland qualifiers. This system saw teams who were defeated in the provincial championships enter a secondary championship and the chance to qualify for the All-Ireland series. The Leinster Championship abandoned its group stage and returned to a straight knockout system. London declined to field a team in the championship due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. They were initially scheduled to host Mayo at Ruislip on the last Sunday of May but Connacht council first postponed the fixture and then outright cancelled the game. The previous fixture between the teams was in 1996 and the next after was in 2006. Kerry entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were defeated by Meath in the All-Ireland semi-final.https://www.the42.ie/meath-darren-fay-four-kings-1176933-Dec2013/ Fay: ‘Meath football started showing an arrogance and it’s never recovered from it’ The 42 27 November 2016 15 December 2013 On 23 September 2001, Galway won the championship following an 0–17 to 0–8 defeat of Meath in the All-Ireland final. This was their ninth All-Ireland title and their first in three championship seasons. The first year of the "back-door" system, as it popularly became known, appropriately finished with the first All-Ireland winner not to win a provincial title. Galway came through the Qualifiers after losing the Connacht Semi-final to Roscommon. They beat Wicklow, Armagh and Cork in the Qualifiers, followed by a win in the re-match with Roscommon in the All Ireland Quarter-final. Their semi-final guaranteed that at least one "back-door" team would contest the All-Ireland final as opponents Derry entered the Qualifiers in the second round alongside Galway after losing the Ulster semi-final to Tyrone. Galway's Pádraic Joyce was the championship's top scorer with 3–45. He was also named as the Texaco Footballer of the Year, while Declan Meehan was chosen as the All Stars Footballer of the Year. Format The provincial championships in Munster, Leinster, Ulster and Connacht ran as usual on a "knock-out" basis. But for the first time, these provincial games were then followed by the "Qualifier" system: Round 1 of the qualifiers included all the counties that did not qualify for the Provincial Semi-finals, except for New York. Sixteen teams were paired in an open draw. Round 2 consisted of the eight defeated teams in the Provincial Semi-finals playing against the eight winners from Round 1. A draw was made to determine the eight pairings. Round 3 consisted of the eight winners from Round 2 playing each other in an open draw format. Round 4 consisted of each of the four teams defeated in the Provincial Finals playing against the four winners from Round 3. A draw was made to determine the four pairings. The Leinster football championship, previously held as a group stage before proceeding to knock-outs, returned to a straight knock-out format. In the All-Ireland Quarter-finals, each of the four Provincial Champions played one of the four winners from Round 4. The All-Ireland Semi-final draw at this time was seeded on a provincial rotation schedule, initially determined by the Central Council. If a Provincial Championship winning team was defeated in its Quarter-final, the team that defeats it took its place in the semi-final. Provincial championships Connacht Senior Football Championship Due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the UK, London did not take part in the Connacht Senior Football Championship in 2001. The Connacht Council decided to cancel their home Quarter-final game against Mayo.http://www.rte.ie/sport/2001/0315/londongaa.html GAA season ends for London RTÉ Sport 2001-03-15 2010-04-08 Quarter-finals Semi-finals Final 100px 35px New York 1–09 Roscommon 3–13 Leitrim 2–05 Galway 3–24 Sligo 1–11 Mayo 1–12 Roscommon 2–12 Galway 0–14 Mayo 1–12 Roscommon 2–10 Quarter-finals 19 May 2001 Quarter-final Roscommon 3–13 – 1–9 New York F Doolan 2–1, G Lohan 0–5, N Dineen 1–1, J Hanley 0–2, G Cox 0–2, M Ryan 0–1, F Greghan 0–1.

The exception was Dublin v Kerry, which in itself was exceptional in that it was held at Semple Stadium in Thurles.https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2020/0430/1135798-2001-a-semple-odyssey-for-dublin-and-kerry/ 2001: A Semple Odyssey for Dublin and Kerry RTÉ Sport 3 May 2020 The draw that year had a major headline act as the reigning All-Ireland champions, Kerry, were drawn to face Dublin. That was just as well because the rest of the draw threw up three games we had seen already. Roscommon and Galway; Derry and Tyrone; Meath and Westmeath. They had already played each other in their respective provinces... The fact that this game was being played in at Semple Stadium added a huge novelty factor to the serious business of Dublin against Kerry. 4 August 2001 Quarter-final Galway 0–14 – 1–5 Roscommon P Joyce 0–7, D Savage 0–2, M Donnellan 0–2, K Walsh 0–1, S Óg de Paor 0–1, J Bergin 0–1.
