For the third year in succession, all of Gaelic football's current Big Four are in a provincial final.
All-Ireland champions Kerry seek three-in-a-row in Munster, Westmeath stand in the way of more Dublin's dominance in a Leinster final, Mayo need to beat Sligo in order to take five Nestor Cups in a row and Donegal could win four Ulster titles in five years.
The latter have to battle their way through the most competitive provincial championship in the country, while the other extreme sees no team being able to lay a glove on Dublin and Mayo in their respective tournaments - while Kerry generally have to see off Cork to secure Munster glory.
But there is a risk that the likes of Dublin can be caught cold in the latter stages of the All-Ireland given the paucity of the challenge provincially.
With all that in mind, which county do you think benefits most from the current provincial structures when it comes to using them as launchpads for assaults on the All-Ireland series?
