2026 GAA Rounders Master Calendar
GAA Rounders has officially published its 2026 Master Calendar and it’s jam-packed with adult and underage events, guaranteeing a season of excitement for everyone.
A New Look for InterProvincials
The season kicks off on 29 March with the return of the InterProvincial Championships after a two-year absence. While the central location will be confirmed shortly, this event promises to showcase the best players from all four provinces battling for provincial pride.
In a break from tradition, 2026 will see both Men’s and Women’s InterProvincial competitions, as provinces go head-to-head to see who will reign supreme and take home the shields.
Championship Season Begins
Three weeks later, the business end of the year begins. The Senior and Intermediate Championships will commence with league matches taking place at clubs all over the country.
Always a highlight of the calendar, and with so many emerging Junior teams nationwide, this promises a day of high-quality play and new skills on show.
Juvenile & Féile Highlights
The underage competitions begin on 16 May with the U14 Boys and Girls All-Ireland Championships in Munster.
- 30 May – U14 Mixed
- 13 June – Flagship U13 Féile
- 21 June – National John West U15 Féile (Carlow/Laois)
- 4 July – U16 Boys and Girls
- 29 August – Minor Men, Women & Mixed
- 12 September – U16 Mixed
The Road to the Finals
Adult league fixtures continue throughout the summer, but the weekends of 25/26 July and 8/9 August are crucial for Junior teams, with All-Ireland quarter and semi-final places on the line.
Intermediate and Senior teams will then battle for final places over the weekends of 15/16 and 22/23 August.
A Historic Finals Format
For the first time ever, Finals Days will be split by category rather than grade:
- 30 August – All Women’s Finals (Senior, Intermediate & Junior)
- 6 September – All Men’s Finals
- 13 September – Mixed Finals Day
