The All‑Ireland SFC Preliminary Quarter‑Final between Dublin and Cork will take place at Croke Park on Saturday, 21 June 2025, with a 6:15 pm throw‑in. It's part of a Saturday evening double‑header at GAA HQ, following the hurling quarter‑final between Dublin and Limerick. Dublin, seeded after finishing second in their group, have home advantage, while Cork earned their spot with a strong group‑stage showing.
This clash revives one of Gaelic football’s most storied rivalries - Dublin historically dominate with 12 wins to Cork’s 2 (and two draws) in championship meetings, all of which have been played at neutral venues, most commonly Croke Park. Dublin’s recent success in this fixture includes a 2019 quarter‑final victory (5–18 to 1–17), adding extra spice to this weekend’s tie. With a place in the All‑Ireland quarter‑finals on the line, get ready for an electric atmosphere as the Rebels attempt to upset the Dubs on home turf.
