The Munster Senior Football Championship, known simply as the Munster Championship and shortened to Munster SFC, is an annual inter-county Gaelic football competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is the highest inter-county Gaelic football competition in the province of Munster, and has been contested every year, bar one, since the 1888 championship.
The final, currently held on the fourth Saturday in June, serves as the culmination of a series of games played during May and June, and the results determine which team receives the Munster Cup. The championship has always been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the championship.
The Munster Championship is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. The winners and runners-up of the Munster championship, like their counterparts in Connacht, Leinster and Ulster, are rewarded by advancing directly to the All-Ireland group stage. All other defeated teams, depending on their league ranking, will advance to the All-Ireland or the second tier Tailteann Cup.
Six teams currently participate in the Munster Championship. The title has been won at least once by all six of the Munster counties, four of which have won the title more than once. Kerry have been the most championships with 84 in total. Kerry are the three time title holders, defeating Clare by 50-23 to 1-13 in the 2024 final.[1]
