The Laois footballers are set to learn their fate this afternoon as the draw for the 2025 Tailteann Cup takes place at 1.30pm, with the O'Moore County placed in Pot 2 following their sixth-place finish in Division 3.
Laois have a good record in the competition, having reached the final in 2024 and the semi-finals in 2023. Laois were beaten by Down on both occasions in Croke Park.
Laois are in Pot 2 alongside Limerick, Sligo, and Wexford, so they can't be drawn against these teams in the group phase.
They will play three games in the group, one at home, one away and one neutral. Laois' first game will be at home to a team from Pot 4 (Waterford, Tipperary, London, and Longford). They'll face a team from Pot 3 (Antrim, Carlow, Leitrim and Wicklow) away from home. Their final game will be played at a neutral venue against a team from Pot 1 (Offaly, Westmeath, Kildare, and Fermanagh).
