The 2019 Monaghan Senior Football Championship will be the 113th edition of Monaghan GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Monaghan, Ireland. Ten teams compete, with the winners representing Monaghan in the AIB GAA Ulster Club Senior Football Championship. The championship uses a double-elimination format for Rounds 1 and 2 before becoming knock-out. [1]
Scotstown are the defending champions after defeating Ballybay Pearse Brothers in the 2018 final, and will be aiming for their fifth consecutive title. The 2019 competition sees the return of Doohamlet and Currin to the Senior ranks following their promotion from the Intermediate competition.
Doohamlet O'Neill's and Currin were relegated to the 2020 IFC after they finished 9th and 10th in the Monaghan SFL respectively. They'll be replaced by Magheracloone Mitchels (IFC Winners) and Donaghmoyne (IFL Winners).
The two bottom-placed teams in the Monaghan Senior Football League are relegated to the Intermediate ranks for the following season, with the Intermediate Football Championship winners and Intermediate Football League winners promoted in their place. If a team wins both the Intermediate Championship and League, then the next highest placed team in the League will be promoted. [1]
