Meath are on the lookout for a new senior ladies football manager after Shane McCormack announced that he is departing the hot seat.

In his second season at the helm, McCormack led the Royal County to the 2025 All-Ireland final, where they were beaten by Dublin at Croke Park earlier this month.

The Kildare native took over the team in 2024 – a campaign which ended with a quarter-final defeat to Kerry, who went on to be crowned champions. Meath avenged that loss with a brilliant semi-final victory over the Kingdom in July.

Performance coach Tony Reilly has also departed the management team, with Meath LGFA stating: “We would like to sincerely thank Shane and Tony for their dedication, commitment, and contribution to the team during their time in charge.

“Their efforts, both on and off the field, have been greatly appreciated by players, management, and supporters alike. We wish them both the very best in their future endeavours.”
