RTÉ Will Broadcast Live The Football, Hurling And Camogie Finals
RTÉ released their 2019 GAA championship coverage schedule today which will see 31 games broadcast live during the summer starting with a Munster hurling double bill.
There is a big shift towards coverage of Hurling and the business end of the championships and a noticable lack of coverage of provincial football games with just five in total with four of those the provincial finals and the one exception the Ulster championship semi final between the winners of Fermanagh/Donegal v Antrim/Tyrone/Derry.
Live TV coverage starts on Sunday the 12th of May on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player with a Munster Senior Hurling double bill featuring the Waterford v Clare clash from Walsh Park with the throw-in at 2pm.
That will be followed by the meeting of Cork and Tipperary from Páirc Uí Chaoimh which will throw-in at 4pm.
The 31 live games will include the football, hurling and camogie All-Ireland finals, as well as the camogie quarter-finals and semi-finals and the football and hurling semi-finals, plus provincial finals and All Ireland quarter-finals.
The Sunday Game is celebrating 40 years on the air and will return in its usual Sunday evening spot hosted by Des Cahill and will include the best highlights and analysis of the weekend’s Championship fare.
