The Meath Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the top Gaelic football clubs in Meath, Ireland.
Qualification for subsequent competitions
The winners of the Meath Senior Football Championship winners qualify to represent their county in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship and in turn, go on to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.
Competition format
From 2020, 16 teams compete in the championship, with four groups of four teams. The top two finishers in each group qualify for the quarter-finals. The bottom two teams in each group progress to the relegation playoffs. The overall loser in the relegation playoffs gets relegated to the Intermediate Division.
In the 2020 Meath Senior Football Championship, due to the short window available to complete the championship because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Meath county board decided that only the top team in each group would qualify for the semi-finals while only the bottom team in each group would take part in the relegation playoffs.
History
Wolfe Tones went from the Meath Junior Football Championship to Meath SFC winners in the space of four seasons in the early 21st-century, featuring Meath player Cian Ward, whose emergence as one of Meath's "most exciting talents" coincided with this run, while 1996 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning captain Tommy Dowd also joined the club around this time.
In the 2024 final, Dunshaughlin defeated Wolfe Tones 2-07 to 1–08.
