Format There was a preliminary round. The first round involved eight two-legged ties played home and away. The eight winning clubs progressed to the quarter-finals, from which the four winning clubs progressed to the semi-finals, from which the two winning clubs progressed to the final. The 2012 championship finished later than usual, postponed due to the senior Donegal county team's involvement in the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final, which Donegal won on 23 September 2012. The 2012 Donegal SFC got back underway a week later.https://www.donegaldaily.com/2012/09/30/gaa-county-championship-results-2/ GAA: County Championship results 30 September 2012 30 September 2012 With interest in Gaelic football at an all-time high after the 2012 All-Ireland SFC final, the Donegal SFC final was broadcast live nationwide on TG4.https://www.donegaldaily.com/2012/11/04/from-sam-maguire-to-dr-maguire-st-eunans-and-naomh-conaill-do-battle-in-county-final/ From Sam Maguire to Dr Maguire — St Eunan's and Naomh Conaill do battle in County Final 4 November 2012 4 November 2012 A huge crowd is expected at MacCumhaill Park at a time when Gaelic games in the county have never had a higher profile.
