Meath Senior Football Championship


The Meath Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the top Gaelic football clubs in Meath, Ireland. 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. In the 2019 final, Ratoath defeated Summerhill 3-15 to 2-13 in the final to win their first ever Keegan Cup.
There are three groups called Group A, B and C. The three top finishers in Group A and B and the first and second placed teams in Group C qualify for the quarter-finals. The three teams that finish last in their groups go through to a round-robin relegation play off. The loser gets relegated to the Intermediate Division.
From the 2020 championship onwards, 16 teams will compete in four groups of four teams. The top two in each group will qualify for the quarter finals while the bottom two in each group will contest the relegation quarter finals.
