League Cup competitions will replace the Club Leagues for 2021, with football and hurling played on alternate weekends from June 7th and June 13th, respectively. League Cup competition grades will be based mainly on two groups of four. with the top two in each group qualifying for the semi-final stage. Some modification is required at the bottom grade in each code in order to facilitate the existing number of teams. These competitions will have no impact on league grading for 2022, which will instead revert to 2020 positions. Groups for the league cups were based on previous league positions, with modifications added to avoid clubs meeting in both league and championship.
Following the recent draws, the groupings for the 2021 championships can be found here. https://gaacork.ie/2021/04/29/championship-draws/
