THE 2026 TG4 Leinster and Munster Senior finalists will be confirmed on Sunday. 

As the round-robin phase in each province concludes, it’ll be two from three in Leinster, with all four Munster participants still in with a chance of making the final. 

In Ulster on Sunday, there’s a pre Ulster final dress rehearsal between Tyrone and Armagh, who’ll also meet in the provincial decider on Sunday May 24. 

The weekend action begins on Saturday with fixtures in the TG4 Leinster and Ulster Junior Championships, the Munster Senior B Championship, and the All-Ireland U20 series. 

Sunday’s live action is the clash between Dublin and Meath at Parnell Park, which is available to view via Leinster LGFA at: https://bit.ly/4uBoscP

TG4 Leinster Senior Championship 

Dublin v Meath; Parnell Park, 2pm – LIVE STREAM

It’s delicately poised in the TG4 Leinster Senior Championship ahead of this final game in the round-robin phase. 

Holders Dublin will qualify for another final if they can secure a second win following last weekend’s triumph over Kildare. 

Dublin’s final opponents, should they overcome the Royals on Sunday, will be Kildare. 

A win for Meath, however, would leave all three teams in the competition level on three points in the standings. 

In that case, score difference will come into play, with Dublin on +6, Kildare on -2 and Meath on -4. 

Dublin have named an unchanged starting line-up for this, while there are two changes in personnel to the Meath team that lost out to Kildare, with Amy Gaffney replacing Mary Kate Lynch in defence, as Emma Duggan comes in for Ciara Smyth up front. 

MEATH: R Murray; K Kealy, Á Sheridan, A Gaffney; O Sheehy, O Gore, K Bermingham; S Murphy, N Gallogly (capt.); M Farrelly, E Duggan, M Thynne; M Byrne, L Woods, R Casserly.

DUBLIN: A Shiels; N Crowley, L Caffrey, H Leahy; S McIntyre, R Hartnett, H McGinnis; N Hetherton, O Nolan; A Timothy, C Rowe (capt.), K Donaghy; M Davoren, L Grendon, J Egan.
