Carlow will be in the draw for this year's Leinster SHC for the first time since 2004 after they won the Chritsty Ring Cup, while Kilkenny have a bye into the semis.

In the Leinster SFC, the four semi-finalists this year - Dublin, Kildare, Laois and Westmeath - will be kept apart on one side of the draw

As usual in the Ulster football championship, there will be one preliminary round and four quarter-finals, while the two rounds of the Connacht championship are pre-determined. Galway will play New York and London will be paired with Roscommon. Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim will go into the hat to produce the third pairing with the remaining county getting a bye into the semis.

There is no change in Munster, with one quarter-final and two semi-finals in hurling, while in football there will be two quarter-finals - with the remaining two teams given a bye into the semi-final.

GAA President Christy Cooney said: 'We're delighted that the draws for our inter-county championship competitions will be broadcast live on RTÉ Television. The draws generate huge interest amongst our members and followers of our games and it is always our intention to bring them to the widest audience possible.'
