The 2018–2019 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship is the 49th annual gaelic football club championship since its establishment in the 1970-71 season. The winners receive the Andy Merrigan Cup.

The defending champions were Corofin from Galway who defeated Nemo Rangers from Cork on 17 March 2018 to win their 3rd title.

Competiton format

County Championships

Ireland's 32 counties and London play their county championships between their senior gaelic football clubs. Each county decides the format for their county championship. The format can be straight knockout, double-elimination, a league, groups, etc. or a combination.

Only single club teams are allowed to enter the All-Ireland Club championship. If a team which is an amalgamation of two or more clubs or a university team wins a county's championship, a single club team will represent that county in the provincial championship as determined by that county's championship rules (normally it is the club team that exited the championship at the highest stage).

Provincial Championships

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster each organise a provincial championship for their participating county champions. Beginning in 2018–19, London compete in the Connacht championship. In previous years they played one of the provincial champions in a single match in December referred to as a quarter-final.

All matches are knock-out and two ten minute periods of extra time are played if it's a draw at the end of normal time.

All-Ireland

Two semi-finals are played on a Saturday in mid-February. The All-Ireland final is usually played in Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day, the 17th of March.

TV Coverage

TG4 continue to broadcast live and deferred club championship games each year.[1] Eir Sport entered the second year of their agreement to broadcast live gaelic football and hurling club championship games and will broadcast up to 30 live games. These games include rounds of county championships as well as county finals and provincial and All-Ireland club championship matches.[2]
