GAA Analyst, Barry Cleary, has brilliantly collected all of the data from the last decade and a half, and created a Premier League-styled table for Gaelic football championship teams, over the course of 38 games.
Of course some teams played a lot more than others, so you have to go right back to 2006 for the likes of Waterford football team to reach 38 matches.

In terms of relegation, it's Waterford who finish dead last, followed by Carlow, while Fermanagh just manage to edge out Antrim to secure safety.
