The 2019 Limerick Senior Football Championship is the 123rd edition of the Limerick GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Limerick, Ireland. 12 teams compete, with the winner representing Limerick in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Adare were the defending champions after they defeated Ballylanders in the 2018 final to claim their second S.F.C. crown, just one year after claiming their first. However the defence of their title and quest for "3-in-a-row" came undone at the semi-final stage when suffering defeat to Newcastle West.
This was Galbally's return to the top flight for the first time in four years after claiming the 2018 Limerick I.F.C. title. Galbally last won the I.F.C. in 2010 (their third title) and after spending four seasons in the senior ranks they were relegated in 2014 back to the I.F.C.
St. Senan's were relegated back to the I.F.C. for 2020 after spending just two seasons in the top-flight of Limerick club football when losing their Relegation Final to Drom-Broadford.
On 27 October 2019, Newcastle West claimed their fourth S.F.C. title and first in four years when defeating Oola 1-11 to 0-8 in the final at the Gaelic Grounds. Thomas Quilligan became the fourth Newcastle West captain to lift the Fr. Casey Cup while Iain Corbett claimed the "Man-of-the-Match" award for his performance.
