With the 2022 All-Ireland Football Championship decided and Kerry crowned champions for the first time since 2014, it's worth reminding ourselves that the championship format will be much different next year.
The 'green proposal' received 94.7% support during a convention at the Connacht Air Dome.
After 'Proposal B' was voted against last October, the greenlight has been given to the new format which is seen to be less radical than the terms in the original plan.
The National League and provincial championships will remain the same. The eight provincial finalists as well as the other eight highest ranked sides from the National League, will make up four groups of the All-Ireland Round Robin series.
The top four teams in the groups will progress to the quarterfinal stages, with the second and third placed teams playing each other in a provisional quarterfinal.
The Tailteann Cup will also feature a round robin format with New York coming into the competition during the provisional quarterfinals.
GAA President on the restructure
Speaking during the congress, GAA President Larry McCarthy said:
"The structure will give more games to more counties at an appropriate level and at an appropriate time of the year,
"While there may be some teething problems, as there is with any new venture, we will work through those problems and adjust accordingly.
"The format is an exciting one and I look forward to great games and the opportunity for counties who may not have been successful for a while to develop and evolve and compete consistently."
The Gaelic Players Association have also been calling for integration between the GAA and LGFA and Camogie. The motion has now been passed and the GAA said:
"The GAA shall prioritise integration with the LGFA and Camogie Association in order to jointly ensure equal investment, recognition and opportunity for all genders to play all sports in the Gaelic Games family."
