Carlow Senior Football Championship


The Carlow Senior Football Championship, is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition organised by Carlow GAA among the top gaelic football clubs in County Carlow. The winning club qualifies to represent the county in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship, the winners of which progress to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The current champions are Éire Óg.

History

The Carlow Senior Club Football Championship began in 1889 when Ballon O'Gorman-Mahon's defeated Tullow Stars and Stripes by a very low scoreline of 1-01 to 0-00. There was no Carlow senior club football championship between 1891 and 1897. The 1941 championship was abandoned due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. Éire Óg are the most successful team, having won the title on 28 occasions.
