It was played between 31 counties of Ireland (excluding Kilkenny), London and New York. Changes for 2014 included the introduction of black cards for "cynical" fouls, the addition of IPTV service GAAGO for international audiences and the broadcasting of live televised matches on Sky Sports for the UK audience. The defending champions were Dublin who were beaten by Donegal in the semi-final. This led to the unexpected final pairing of Donegal and Kerry (victors over Mayo in their semi-final replay) – a first on All-Ireland Final day, and only a second meeting in Championship history. Their first Championship encounter, a 2012 quarter-final, led to victory for Donegal, who marched on to lay claim to that year's Sam Maguire Cup. Kerry, with goals from Paul Geaney and Kieran Donaghy, won their 37th title after a 2–9 to 0–12 win against Donegal. http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/kerrys-final-resolve-holds-as-errors-undo-donegal-30604491.html Kerry's final resolve holds as errors undo Donegal 22 September 2014 Irish Independent 19 September 2014 https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/gaelic-games/29301761 Kerry 2–9 0–12 Donegal 22 September 2014 BBC Sport 19 September 2014 Teams A total of 33 teams contested the championship.

The draw took place on Monday 9 June 2014 on RTÉ Radio 1. 2014 saw a new qualifying system implemented. The teams were split into groups A and B depending on which side of the draw they had played in their provincial championships. Each team was drawn to face an opponent from the same group as themselves, meaning A teams were paired with A teams and B teams were paired with B teams. Four games were instituted for each round, with Round 1A staged on 21 June and Round 1B taking place on 28 June.http://thescore.thejournal.ie/gaa-football-qualifiers-1503000-Jun2014/ The Score GAA 2014 football qualifier first round draw to take place next Monday 9 June 2014 6 June 2014 12em start Connacht (2) red A London green B Leitrim 12em break Leinster (7) red A Laois red A Longford red A Offaly red A Wicklow green B Carlow green B Louth green B Westmeath 12em break Munster (2) red A Limerick green B Waterford 12em break Ulster (5) red A Derry red A Fermanagh green B Cavan green B Down green B Tyrone end 21 June 2014 3.00pm Round 1A Limerick 1–16 – 1–13 London I Ryan (0-08), G Hegarty (1-00), K Phair, G Collins, B Scanlon (0-02 each), J Galvin, D Neville (0-01 each) D Dunleavy (1-05) J Feeney (0-02), A Faherty, M Gottsche, M Miskelly, L Mulvey, S Hickey, T Gaughan (0-01 each) Gaelic Grounds, Limerick P O'Sullivan (Kerry) Report 21 June 2014 3.30pm Round 1A Laois 1–19 – 2–15 Fermanagh D Kingston (0-06), R Munnelly (0-04), B Sheehan (1-00), D Strong (0-03), C Meredith (0-02), K Meaney, C Begley, P Begley, D Conway (0-01 each) S Quigley (2-08), E Maguire (0-02), N Cassidy, B Owens, R Jones, R Corrigan, P McCusker (0-01 each) O'Moore Park, Portlaoise David Coldrick (Meath) Report 21 June 2014 5.00pm Round 1A Derry 2–14 – 2–16 Longford M Lynch (1-04), B Heron (1-01), J Kielt (0-04), E Lynn, T O'Brien (0-02 each), SL McGoldrick (0-01) P Barden (1-02), S McCormack (0-04),M Hughes (1-00), B Kavanagh (0-03), F McGee, M Quinn (0-02 each), B Gilleran, S Mulligan, C Smyth (0-01 each) Celtic Park, Derry M Higgins (Fermanagh) Report 21 June 2014 7.00pm Round 1A Wicklow 3–12 – 0–17 Offaly S Furlong (2-02), L Glynn (0-04), D Hayden (1-00), A Murphy (0-02), D Healy, J McGrath, A McLoughlin, J Stafford (0-01 each) N McNamee (0–10), J Maher (0-03), P Cunningham, J Moloney, N Smith, A Sullivan (0-01 each) Aughrim County Ground, Aughrim Conor Lane (Cork) Report 28 June 2014 2.30pm Round 1B Louth 0–10 – 2–21 Tyrone R Burns (0-03), A McDonnell, B White, C Grimes (0-02 each), C Judge (0-01).

The draw saw each team from the previous qualifier round face a provincial runner-up. The teams from Round 3A faced runners up from Connacht and Munster, while the teams from Round 3B faced those from Leinster and Ulster, with the four winners of these matches progressing to the All-Ireland Quarter Finals. For the Round 4A games no draw was necessary as Sligo had already faced Galway, while Tipperary had previously played Cork. A similar situation occurred on the B side of the draw, with Armagh unable to meet Monaghan, and Kildare having played Meath previously. start Draw ARound 3A Winners Sligo TipperaryProvincial Runners-up Connacht: Galway Munster: Cork break Draw BRound 3B Winners Armagh KildareProvincial Runners-up Leinster: Meath Ulster: Monaghan end 26 July 2014 5.00pm Round 4A Cork 0–21 – 1–11 Sligo C O’Neill (0–10), P Kerrigan (0-05), A Walsh (0-02), B Hurley, D Hodnett, I Maguire, D Cahalane (0-01 each) A Marren (0-06), S Coen (1-01), M Breheny (0-03), C Harrison (0-01) O'Connor Park, Tullamore David Gough (Meath) Report 26 July 2014 7.00pm Round 4A Galway 4–17 – 4–12 Tipperary S Walsh (0-05), D Cummins, M Lundy (1-01 each), F Ó Curraoin, T Flynn (1-00 each), M Martin, P Conroy (0-03 each), S Armstrong (0-02), P Varley, D Comer (0-01 each) C Sweeney (1-04), C O’Riordan (1-02), B Fox, B Mulvihill (1-00 each), P Acheson (0-02), S O’Brien, B Grogan, M Quinlivan, G Hannigan (0-01 each) O'Connor Park, Tullamore Barry Cassidy (Derry) Report 2 August 2014 5.00pm Round 4B Meath 0–13 – 0–18 Armagh M Newman (0-04), G Reilly (0-03), P O’Rourke, David Bray (0-02 each), D Carroll, A Tormey (0-01 each) T Kernan, A Forker, S Campbell (0-03 each), A Kernan, B Mallon (0-02 each), M Shields, K Dyas, K Carragher, J Clarke, S Forker (0-01 each) Croke Park, Dublin R Hickey (Clare) Report 2 August 2014 7.00pm Round 4B Monaghan 2–16 – 2–14 (AET) Kildare S Gollogly (1-03), C McManus (0-05), P Finlay (0-04), V Corey (1-00), D Wylie, F Kelly, D Hughes, J McCarron (0-01 each) E Bolton (2-01), E O’Flaherty (0-04), A Smith (0-03), P Fogarty (0-02), P O’Neill, H Lynch, E Callaghan, N Kelly (0-01 each) Croke Park, Dublin David Coldrick (Meath) Report Quarter-finals The quarter-finals featured the four provincial champions, along with the teams that progressed from Round 4 of the qualifiers. The teams from Round 4A were to face either the Connacht or Munster champions in the earlier games, while the following weekend saw the teams from Round 4B face the champions from Leinster and Ulster. Teams coming from the qualifiers that had already met one of the provincial champions in an earlier match in the competition were automatically kept apart from that team. This made a draw unnecessary on the A side of the draw, Cork and Galway were prevented from facing Kerry and Mayo respectively. On the B side of the draw, Armagh had not met either of the teams and were able to play either Donegal or Dublin, but Monaghan's earlier game with Donegal meant that those two teams were kept apart, again making a draw unnecessary.http://www.joe.ie/gaa/the-championship/heres-all-you-know-need-to-know-about-the-football-championship-quarter-finals-and-the-final-round-of-the-qualifiers/ JOE.ie Here's all you know need to know about the Football Championship quarter-finals and the final round of the qualifiers 21 July 2014 21 July 2014 Quarter-finals Semi-finals Final 100px 35px Kerry Galway 1–20 2–10 Mayo Cork 1–19 2–15 Donegal Armagh 1–12 1–11 Dublin Monaghan 2–22 0–11 Kerry Mayo 3–16 3–13 Donegal Dublin 3–14 0–17 Kerry Donegal 2–09 0–12 3 August 2014 Kerry Galway 2.00pm Quarter-final A 1–20 – 2–10 J O'Donoghue (1-05), P Geaney (0-04, 1f), BJ Keane (0-03), D Walsh (0-02), J Buckley (0-02, 1f), M Geaney, Declan O'Sullivan, D Moran, K O’Leary (0-01 each) Report S Walsh (0-05, 3f), M Lundy (1-01), T Flynn (1-00), G Bradshaw (0-02), P Conroy, D Comer (0-01 each) Croke Park, Dublin 37,866 Eddie Kinsella (Laois) 3 August 2014 Mayo Cork 4.00pm Quarter-final A 1–19 – 2–15 C O’Connor (0-05, 3f), A O’Shea (1-00), A Dillon (0-04), D Vaughan, S O'Shea, J Doherty, A Moran (0-02 each), L Keegan, K McLoughlin (0-01 each) Report B Hurley (1-04, 1f), C O'Neill (0-06, 4f), D O'Connor (1-02, 1f), F Goold (0–2), A Walsh (0-01, 1f) Croke Park, Dublin 37,866 C Reilly (Meath) 9 August 2014 4.00pm Quarter-final B Donegal 1–12 – 1–11 Armagh M Murphy (0-05), O MacNiallais (1-01), C McFadden (0-03), P McBrearty (0-02), N McGee (0-01) T Kernan (0-04), A Kernan (0-02), A Mallon, A Forker, S Campbell, K Carragher, M Murray (0-01 each)P Durcan (1-00 own goal) Croke Park, Dublin Joe McQuillan (Cavan) Report 72,440 9 August 2014 6.00pm Quarter-final B Dublin 2–22 – 0–11 Monaghan B Brogan (1-06), D Connolly (1-02), A Brogan (0-03), E O'Gara, D Rock, P Flynn (0-02 each), J Cooper, K McManamon, S Cluxton, C Costello (0-01 each) C McManus (0-06), D Clerkin, K Hughes (0-02 each), R Beggan (0-01) Croke Park, Dublin M Duffy (Sligo) Report 72,440 Semi-finals There was no draw for the semi-finals as the fixtures are pre-determined on a yearly rotation (which ensures that the provincial champions can only meet once every three years if they win their quarter finals).
