Ger Brennan’s reign as Dublin manager will begin away to Laois in the opening round of the returning O’Byrne Cup on January 3.
Dublin have been paired with Justin McNulty’s side, with the winners set to meet either Wexford or Kildare in the semi-finals the following weekend.
On the opposite side of the draw, Leinster champions Louth will take on Longford or Westmeath, while the remaining quarter-final will see the winners of Carlow v Offaly face the winners of Wicklow v Meath.
Back for the first time since 2024, the O’Byrne Cup guarantees each Leinster county two games, with the final pencilled in for mid-January and TG4 confirmed to broadcast the decider.
