The GAA hope to reveal details of their fixture calendar by the end of next week.
They've given a cautious greeting to the government announcement that inter-county training can resume on April 19th.
It means the Allianz Leagues could start on a regional basis from the middle of May.
It's likely that the senior inter county championships will be played along similar lines to last year, with knockout in Football and qualifiers in Hurling.
This would allow All Ireland finals to be potentially wrapped up by August ahead of the start of the club season.
Non-contact underage training in pods of 15 will be permitted from April 26th.
In a statement issued last night, the GAA has warned that any breaches of that start date will not be tolerated.
"it is more important than ever that no collective training sessions are held between now and the Government indicated return dates. Breaches in this context will not only be dealt with under our own Rules but would likely put the broader plan to return to activity in serious jeopardy."
This comes after Gardai confirmed they were investigating a possible breach of COVID 19 rules by a GAA club in West Cork.
