The Bank of Ireland Connacht Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition for the senior county teams of Connacht GAA. All of the counties of Connacht participate in the championship, as well as counties London and New York.

The Connacht Senior Football Championship is run on a knock-out basis in which once a team loses they are eliminated from the competition. A series of games are played during the summer months and the final is played in July. The winner progresses directly to the All-Ireland Series, while losing teams - since 2001 - progress to the All-Ireland Qualifiers, though before that time their season was over.

Mayo are the Connacht Championship's record holders, having won the competition on 46 occasions. Galway are Connacht's most successful side with 9 All Ireland titles.

London have competed in the Connacht Senior Football Championship since 1975. In this time they have managed three victories: one in 1977 and two in 2013, against Sligo and Leitrim.[1][2][3]

Teams

The Connacht championship is contested by the five counties in the Irish province of Connacht and the two foreign based teams of London and New York.
