Kerry and Tyrone will rekindle their modern rivalry in the semi-finals

Kerry will face Tyrone in the All-Ireland semi-finals after dethroning champions Armagh this afternoon.

On the other side, Donegal will take on surprise package Meath after they saw off Galway in Sunday's opener at Croke Park.

The draw was made shortly after the conclusion of the quarter-finals.

The men from the Kingdom and the Red Hand have a storied modern rivalry, having met in All-Ireland finals in 2005 and 2008, as well as semi-finals in 2003, 2015, 2019 and 2021. Their most recent championship meeting was two years ago, when Kerry won a quarter-final by 2-18 to 0-12.

Donegal have beaten Meath in three of four championship meetings, with the Royals' sole triumph coming back in the 1990 All-Ireland semi-final.

Since then, the Tír Chonaill men have enjoyed qualifier wins in 2002 and 2017, as well as a 2019 All-Ireland group stage victory at Ballybofey.

The semi-finals will be played over the weekend of the 12/13 July.
