The Super 8s will not return for the 2022 championship with the provincial winners to move into the All-Ireland series with qualifiers to return for the first time since 2019.

The Tailteann Cup will also make its debut in the new year. This Cup will consists of Division 3 & 4 sides who do not qualify for their provincial final. The two relegated sides from Division 2 will also compete in the secondary competition should they fail to qualify for their provincial decider.

Limerick will first have to contend with the McGrath Cup, which they are current holders of, winning the title in January 2020. The National League kicks off on January 29/30 while the All-Ireland football final will take place on July 24.
