The Tyrone Senior Football Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Connollys of MoyTyrone Senior Football Championship) is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by top-tier Tyrone GAA clubs. The Tyrone County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1904.

Contents

In 2022, the Irish Independent said of the Tyrone SFC: "Tyrone can rightly lay claim to the most competitive senior football championship of them all just by the range of different winners it has produced over the last decade". [1]

Errigal Ciarán are the title holders (2024), having defeated Trillick St. Macartan's in the final.

History

To date, over 20 different clubs have won the Tyrone Senior Football Championship, though some of these no longer exist (including Washingbay Shamrocks, Cookstown Brian Óg, Fintona Davitts and Strabane Fág-a-Bealach).

The first tournament took place in the 1904–1905 season, which Coalisland Na Fianna won by defeating Strabane Lámh Dhearg in the final.

No competition was held in the 1906–1907, 1909–1913, 1914–1916, 1918–1919, or 1920–1923 seasons, nor in 1932. The 1939 competition was left unfinished.

An Charraig Mhór is the club that has won the competition the most times (15), their last in 2005. Dungannon has the second highest number of wins (11), with Coalisland in third place (10).

The 2024 Final was originally scheduled to be played on Sunday 20th October but was postponed due to Storm Ashley. [2]

Format

The 16 clubs in Division 1 of the All-County Football League in Tyrone compete on a straight knockout basis. Between 1999 and 2007, the competition was played for by 24 clubs. Reserve Football Championships are also played in the county at adult level for club's second teams.

Honours

The trophy presented to the winners is the O'Neill Cup. The O'Neill Cup was received by the County Board in December 1926 at a cost of £20.4.0. The Cup was first played for in the 1927 season in which Donaghmore Éire Óg became the first winners. [3]

The winners qualify to represent Tyrone in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship. Errigal Ciarán is the only club from Tyrone to win the Ulster Club championship, which has happened three times (1993, 2002 and 2024).

The winners of Ulster go on to play in the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. Errigal Ciaran became the first Tyrone team to reach an All-Ireland Senior Club Football Final when they beat Dr. Crokes (Kerry) in the 2025 All-Ireland Semi-Final. They were then beaten by Cuala (Dublin) 3-14 to 1-16 in the Final played at Croke Park. [4]

Top Scorer

[74] [75]

The contest for Top Scorer in the Senior Championship goes back to 1981 when it was sponsored by 'On The Spot Trophies', on the initiative of the late Plunkett McCusker.

In 1992 three times winner Tommy Fiddis became the permanent holder of the 'On the Spot' Top Scorer Trophy.

Subsequently in 1993 a new sponsor was recruited by the County Board - Forbes Kitchens of Ardboe.

The trophy is presented by Patsy Forbes each year on County Final day to that season's Senior Championship Top Scorer.

Peter Canavan has won the trophy a record 5 times - 1994, 1995, 2000, 2002 and 2006.

There have been joint winners in 3 different seasons - 1985, 1999 and 2001.
