=Provincial championships=
The 12 teams first play in their provincial championships. Connacht and Ulster each contain two teams, so their championships are played as a single match.
In Leinster and Munster, there are four teams in the provincial championships. They play each other in a round-robin phase, with two teams progressing to the final.{{Cite web|url=https://www.munsterlgfa.com/senior-championship/|title=Senior Championship|website=Munster Ladies Gaelic Football LGFA}}
=Group stage=
The 12 teams are drawn into four groups of three teams; seeding is based on performance in the provincial championships. Each team plays each other team in its group once, earning three points for a win and one for a draw.{{Cite web|url=https://ladiesgaelic.ie/draws-made-for-groupstages/|title=Draws made for group stages of 2024 TG4 All-Ireland Championships|first=Jackie|last=Cahill|date=10 February 2024}}
= Tiebreakers for group ranking=
If two teams are level on points, the tie-break is:
- winners of the head-to-head game are ranked ahead
- if the head-to-head match was a draw, then whichever team scored more points in the game is ranked ahead (e.g. 1-15 beats 2–12)
- if the head-to-head match was an exact draw, ranking is determined by the points difference (i.e. total scored minus total conceded in all games)
- if the points difference is equal, ranking is determined by the total scored
If three teams are level on league points, rankings are determined solely by points difference.
=Relegation=
The last-placed teams in the groups play off to decide which team is relegated to the All-Ireland Intermediate Ladies' Football Championship. Provincial champions are exempt from relegation.
=Knockout stage=
The top two in each group progress to the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Quarter-finals and semi-finals are "results on the day," with 20 minutes' extra time being played in the event of a draw, and a free-kick shootout being taken from a {{cvt|30|m|yd}} distance in the event of a draw after extra time.{{Cite web|url=https://ladiesgaelic.ie/croke-park-to-host-dublin-v-mayo-tg4-all-ireland-ladies-sfc-semi-final/|title=Croke Park to host Dublin v Mayo TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC semi-final|date=August 4, 2021}} If the All-Ireland final is a draw, the game is replayed.
