The sixteen teams eliminated before their provincial semi-finals play eight matches in round 1, with the winners of these games playing the eight beaten provincial semi-finalists in round 2.

Two semi-finals and a final follow. All matches are knock-out. Any game that ends in a draw is replayed. If a replay ends in a draw, extra time is played.September 2019 Changes from 2015 championship Referees were instructed to add on 20 seconds for the introduction of a substitute and 20 seconds for each instance of a goalkeeper or defender going upfield for a placed ball attempt. Previously there was no specific provision for these two events which led to instances of deliberate time-wasting by teams who were leading. 30 seconds were also to be added each time the Hawk-Eye score detection system was utilised.September 2019 Provincial championships Connacht Senior Football Championship 2016 Connacht Senior Football Championship Connacht Final 10 July 2016 14:00 Pearse Stadium, Galway Galway 20px|border 0–13 – 1–10 20px|border Roscommon D Cummins (0–3), G Sice, D Comer (0–2 each), G Bradshaw, J Heaney, G O’Donnell, B Power, A Varley (0–1 each) E Smith (1–0), F Cregg, N Daly, C Murtagh (0–2 each), C Cregg, C Devaney, D O’Malley, D Smith (0–1 each) Conor Lane (Cork) 24,324 http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2016/0710/801483-galway-roscommon/ Connacht FinalReplay 17 July 2016 15:30 MacHale Park, Castlebar Galway 20px|border 3–16 – 0–14 20px|border Roscommon D Cummins (2–1), G Sice (1–2), D Comer, S Walsh (0–3 each), E Brannigan (0–2), P Conroy, E Kerin, G O’Donnell, B Power, P Varley (0–1 each) C Murtagh (0–4), S Kilbride, D Shine, E Smith (0–2 each), T Corcoran, C Cregg, U Harney, F Lennon (0–1 each) Ciaran Branagan (Down) 15,960 http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2016/0717/802991-galway-roscommon/ Leinster Senior Football Championship 2016 Leinster Senior Football Championship Leinster Final 17 July 2016 16:00 Croke Park, Dublin Dublin 20px|border 2–19 – 0–10 20px|border Westmeath D Rock (0–8), B Brogan (1–4), K McManamon (1–2), P Andrews (0–2), D Connolly, P Flynn, J Small (0–1 each) J Heslin (0–6), G Egan (0–2), D Corroon, C McCormack (0–1 each) Fergal Kelly (Longford) 47,840 http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2016/0717/802997-dublin-westmeath/ Munster Senior Football Championship 2016 Munster Senior Football Championship Munster Final 3 July 2016 14:00 Kerry 20px|border 3–17 – 2–10 20px|border Tipperary P Geaney (2–3), P Murphy (1–1), James O’Donoghue, B Sheehan (0–4 each), M Geaney, BJ Keane, S O’Brien, D O’Sullivan, K Young (0–1 each) K O’Halloran (0–6), J Feehan, R Kiely (1–0 each), M Quinlivan (0–3), A Moloney (0–1) Fitzgerald Stadium, Killarney David Gough (Meath) 21,512 http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2016/0703/799883-kerry-v-tipperary/ Ulster Senior Football Championship 2016 Ulster Senior Football Championship Ulster Final 17 July 2016 14:00 St. Tiernach's Park, Clones Tyrone 20px|border 0–13 – 0–11 20px|border Donegal S Cavanagh (0–3), P Harte, N Morgan (0–2 each), R Brennan, C McCarron, D McCurry, C McGeary, C McShane, N Sludden (0–1 each) P McBrearty, R McHugh (0–3 each), O MacNiallais, M Murphy (0–2 each), C Toye (0–1) David Coldrick (Meath) 33,433 http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2016/0717/802984-tyrone-donegal/ All-Ireland Series Qualifiers A and B teams An A and B system for the qualifier draws was introduced in 2014 and was retained. The teams were designated as A or B depending on which half of their provincial championships they played in. Although some teams receive byes in the early provincial rounds, their position in the round in which they entered the competition was usually determined by the provincial draw, resulting in most teams being designated as A or B randomly. For example, each of the four provinces had two semi-finals – one between two teams designated A and one between two teams designated B. The beaten semi-finalists in each province were always one A team and one B team. In all qualifier rounds A teams played A teams and B teams played B teams. Usually the A teams played their provincial games before the B teams, which allowed the A qualifier games to be scheduled a week before the B qualifier games. Round 1 In the first round of the qualifiers sixteen of the seventeen teams beaten in the preliminary rounds or quarter-finals of the provincial championships competed. New York did not enter the qualifiers. Four A teams played four A teams, while four B teams played four B teams. The round 1 draw was unrestricted − if two teams had played each other in a provincial match they could be drawn to meet again, with the winner of the provincial match receiving home advantage. The eight round 1 winners played the eight beaten provincial semi-finalists in round 2 of the qualifiers.

This rotation ensured that a province's champions played the champions of all the other provinces once every three years in the semi-finals if they each won their quarter-finals and prevented two provincial champions meeting in the semi-finals in successive years. If a qualifier team defeated a provincial winner in a quarter-final, the qualifier team took that provincial winner's place in the semi-final. 21 August 3:30 pm Mayo 20px|border 2–13 – 0–14 20px|border Tipperary Andy Moran 0–4, Jason Doherty and Conor O’Shea 1–0 each, Cillian O’Connor 0-3f, Diarmuid O’Connor 0–2, Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O’Shea 0–1 each Michael Quinlivan 0-7f, Conor Sweeney 0–3 (0-1f), Kevin O’Halloran 0–2 (0-1f), Bill Maher and Philip Austin 0–1 each Croke Park, Dublin Keith Higgins (Ballyhaunis) David Coldrick (Meath) Report 53,212 28 August 3:30 pm Dublin 20px|border 0–22 – 2–14 20px|border Kerry Dean Rock 0–12 (8f, 2 ’45), Diarmuid Connolly 0–3, Kevin McManamon 0–2, Bernard Brogan 0–2, Philly McMahon 0–1, Eoghan O’Gara 0–1, Brian Fenton 0–1.

Tipperary Miscellaneous Tipperary beat Cork for the first time since 1944. Kerry were the first team since Cork (1987–1990) to win a 4th Munster title in a row. In the old system All Ireland series we would have had a Galway vs Tyrone All Ireland semi-final. The All-Ireland final ends in a draw and goes to a replay for the first time since 2000.
