Tailteann Cup 2023 fixture guide as the GAA confirm venues

The GAA has confirmed the times and venues for the opening round of games in this season’s Tailteann Cup, which is due to get under way next weekend.

The Group One clash between last year’s beaten finalists Cavan and Laois will be shown live on GAAGO with Mickey Graham’s side enjoying home advantage at Kingspan Breffni in round one.

The three other Ulster teams will also play their opening games at home, although Down's fixture against Waterford has yet to be confirmed.
