Reigning Ulster champions Derry will face the losers of this year's provincial title following today's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship draw.

The Oak Leafers and either Donegal or Armagh, have also been named in Group 1 alongside Westmeath and whoever wins the Connacht Final between Galway and Mayo.

The county that comes out on top in the May 12th Ulster decider will take on Tyrone, Cork and the beaten Munster finalists between Clare and Kerry.

The Series begins on the weekend of May 18th and 19th, with both Donegal and Armagh back in action the following weekend.

In the second-tier Tailteann Cup, top seeds Down will take on Offaly, Limerick and London in Group 4, while Antrim meet Sligo, Wexford and Tipperary in Group 2. Fermanagh are in with Laois, Wicklow and Carlow in Group 3.

The Tailteann Cup begins a week earlier on May 11th and 12, with the round-robin format for both competitions seeing each county play one match at home, one away and another at a neutral venue.
