The inaugural edition of the competition will see the best sides in the country compete in the All-Ireland Series
The picture has become a lot clearer for some of the brightest young Mayo football prospects as the structure for the inaugural LGFA All-Ireland Under-20 Championship has been revealed.
The maiden edition of the competition has brought a healthy degree of interest after it was announced last year.

The other half will be a group stage with teams from Connacht, Leinster, and Munster.
Cork, Dublin, Galway, Mayo, and Meath will all play two home and away games each, with the top side advancing to the first-ever All-Ireland final against the Ulster Champions.
The dates for the competition are as follows.
Round One - Saturday, May 2
Round Two - Saturday, May 9
Round Three - Saturday, May 23
Round Four - Sunday, May 31/ Monday, June 1
Round Five - Saturday, June 27
