Foyle MLA Mark H Durkan welcomed confirmation from Translink of the special bus services.
Earlier, he said: "I've been liaising with Translink ahead of Sunday's GAA quarter final to ensure special travel arrangements, both bus and rail, are in place for supporters travelling from Derry to Dublin.
"Derry GAA has gone from strength to strength and I hope that public transport links will be accessible on the day to ensure that fans can get out and show their support."
