The draws for this year’s Munster and Leinster hurling championships will be made this evening.
The provincial hurling championships are reverting to their original knockout format, but there will be a qualifier system, and an All-Ireland quarter final series.
The football campaign will see the provincial championships played as a straight knockout, with the four winners to advance to the All-Ireland semi finals.
The championships will reach a festive conclusion with finals being played on December 13th and 19th.
The Allianz Leagues will resume in October.
