The Gaelic football's Expert Advisory Group has proposed a number of rule changes for trial in the Ryan Cup. The changes include a ban on fisted points unless the ball is in flight, a cap of three consecutive handpasses, a modified kickout requiring the ball to travel just 13 metres rather than beyond the 40m arc, a four-point goal, and a backcourt rule under which a team cannot play the ball back across their own halfway line. Cavan GAA is investigating the cause of a fire that broke out in the kitchen area of Kingspan Breffni Park in the early hours of Friday morning, leaving the county's main ground out of commission for the weekend. Munster and Ireland rugby have been dealt a blow with the news that Jack Crowley will be sidelined until early 2027 as he recovers from a lower limb vascular injury. Shamrock Rovers' UEFA Conference League campaign has ended in Finland, with a Graham Burke own goal sending KuPS through and the Hoops home.

Additionally, there are several minor tweaks, including increasing the number of substitutes from five to six, a 50-metre advancement if a mark is impeded, extending the 40m arc to the end-line, and aligning all 50-metre advanced frees to the 13m line rather than the 20m line. The EAG is chaired by former Roscommon and Mayo manager Kevin McStay, who stated that the group's work is concerned with 'polishing' and 'tweaking' the work undertaken by the Football Review Committee.
The Expert Advisory Group was installed on the recommendation of the Football Review Committee in their final report in 2025, charged with monitoring trends within the game following the sweeping rule changes launched in late 2024. The group consists of David Coldrick, John Tobin, Conor McManus, Maurice Fitzgerald, Pat Doherty, Seamus Kenny, and Johnny Bradley.
