AIB, proud sponsors of the club and county, has been joined by Paul Geaney (Kerry), Robert Finnerty (Galway), Ethan Rafferty (Armagh) and Sam Mulroy (Louth) for the launch of the 2025 AIB GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championships.
This year marks a significant milestone as AIB celebrates its 10th year as sponsor of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, a decade of unwavering support for Gaelic Games. This year promises to be a game-changer, as the new rules of Gaelic Football redefine the championship.
AIB's commitment to the players remains steadfast, celebrating the skill, dedication, and unwavering commitment that embody #TheToughest.
The 2025 AIB All-Ireland Senior Football Championship season promises to be one of the most intriguing yet, with significant rule changes adding a layer of strategic complexity and the unknown. This year, the Championship takes on the atmosphere of a high-stakes chess match, where every move and adaptation will be crucial.
The new rules demand a fresh approach, mirroring the unpredictable nature of the game and the season ahead. As AIB marks its 10th year sponsoring the AIB GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, we celebrate the players, fans, and volunteers who embody the spirit of Gaelic Games.
Throughout this decade, AIB has shone a spotlight on the dedication and resilience of inter-county footballers, crafting innovative content that highlights why they are some of #TheToughest. AIB remains committed to supporting Gaelic Games across the country at all levels, having renewed its sponsorship of both the AIB GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championships and AIB Club Championships until 2028.
AIB is joined by a host of inter-county giants to launch the Championships today, including Robert Finnerty, who will be hoping to go one step further with the Tribesman this year having been beaten by Armagh in last year’s All-Ireland final. Galway begin the 2025 championship away to New York on the 6th of April.
Before heading to the United States, Galway's Robert Finnerty caught up with Galway Bay FM's Jonathan Higgins.
Paul Geaney and Kerry will be vying to bring Sam back to the Kingdom in July after last year’s disappointment of crashing out at the semi-final stage.
Sam Mulroy’s Louth will be hoping to win their first Leinster title since 1957.
Ger Brennan’s side will fancy their chances of landing Sam Maguire if they can first claim provincial honours. Defending champions Armagh will look to make more history this year and hope to add a third All-Ireland Football title to their roll of honour. The Orchard County will begin the defence of their crown against Antrim.
AIB is also proud sponsor of the AIB GAA Club Championships since 1991, and the AIB Camogie Club Championships since 2013. AIB expanded its support for Gaelic Games in 2024 by sponsoring the AIB Ladies Gaelic Football Club Championship for the first time, unifying four codes – Football, Hurling, Camogie, and Ladies Football – under one sponsorship banner.
The GAA Senior Football Championship and Club Championships are some of #TheToughest competitions in GAA and the players who participate do so to make their clubs, counties and communities proud.
AIB Chief Executive Officer, Colin Hunt said: “As AIB marks a decade of sponsoring the AIB GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, we're not just celebrating a milestone, but a deep-rooted partnership built on shared values of community, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Over the past ten years, we've witnessed firsthand the extraordinary commitment of players, managers, volunteers, and fans who embody #TheToughest spirit. We're immensely proud to continue supporting Gaelic Games at all levels, and we look forward to another season of thrilling competition, unforgettable moments, and celebrating the heart and soul of Irish sport.”
Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Jarlath Burns stated: “The launch of the 2025 AIB GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championships marks not only the start of another exciting season, but also a significant milestone in our partnership with AIB. For ten years, AIB has been a steadfast supporter of Gaelic Games, enabling us to showcase the passion, skill, and community spirit that define our sport. As we look forward to another year of fierce competition and unforgettable moments, we thank AIB for their continued commitment to the GAA and the values we hold dear.
