The 2018 Tyrone Senior Football Championship is the 113th edition of Tyrone GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for clubs in Tyrone Senior Football League Division 1. 16 teams compete with the winners receiving the O'Neill Cup and representing Tyrone in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship.
Omagh St. Enda's were the defending champions after they defeated Errigal Ciarán in the 2017 final. However the defence of their title came undone at the quarter-final stage when losing to eventual finalists Killyclogher St. Mary's.[1]
Moy Tír na nÓg, Derrylaughan Kevin Barry's and Aghyaran St. Davog's returned to senior championship football in 2018.[2][3]
Galbally Pearses made the drop back down to the Intermediate ranks when finishing bottom of the 2018 S.F.L. They were followed by Pomeroy Plunkett's who lost their S.F.L. Relegation Playoff after a replay to Aghyaran St. Davog's, who in turn then lost their SFL/IFL promotion/relegation playoff also after a replay to Dungannon Thomas Clarke's. I.F.C. champions Tattyreagh St. Patrick's and I.F.L. champions Eglish St. Patrick's will also replace these relegated teams in 2019.[4][5]
On 21 October 2018, Coalisland Fianna claimed their 10th S.F.C. crown and their first triumph since 2010 when defeating Killyclogher St. Mary's by 2-11 to 1-7 at Healy Park.[6]
The draw for the 2018 S.F.C. was made on 7 June 2018.[7]
