Clare Senior Football Championship
The Clare Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition organised by Clare GAA between the top sixteen gaelic football clubs in County Clare, Ireland. The winners represent the county in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship, the winners of which progress to the semi-finals of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The Clare SFC final is generally held in the month of October and is played at Cusack Park in Ennis.
In 2014 Cratloe completed a historic first Clare Senior Championship 'Double' in 85 years since the famous Ennis Dalcassians in 1929.
In 2016 a Football Review Agreement decided that from 2019 onwards the Clare Senior and Intermediate Football Championships would both involve twelve teams in an effort to make both more competitive. This meant that five clubs would lose their senior status and be relegated down to the Clare Intermediate Football Championship. The eleven remaining senior clubs would be joined by the intermediate champions to form the new senior championship, and thereby increasing the intermediate championship from eight to twelve teams. 2018 saw the relegation of Doora-Barefield, Kilfenora, O'Curry's, St. Breckan's and Wolfe Tones down to Intermediate.
As part of the 2016 Football Review Agreement, a pathway was left open for any amalgamations that wished to enter the senior championship. Two intermediate clubs from the Loop Head Peninsula took up this opportunity for 2019 and competed together as West Clare. After West Clare's relative success in 2019, their near neighbours Kilkee will join them under the name Western Gaels for 2020. Once again and amalgamations will be exempt from potential relegation.
The 2019 champions, and holders of the Jack Daly Cup are St. Joseph's, Miltown Malbay who won back-to-back titles to become the county champions for the third time in five years with their fifteenth overall title.

- Ennis Faughs were an amalgamation of the Ennis Dalcassians / Éire Óg, Inis GAA and St Josephs Doora-Barefield GAA clubs. They competed together from 1944-1956 and 1994-1996 when there were not enough players available for two separate senior football teams.
