The Dublin Senior Football Club Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Evening Herald Dublin Senior Football Club Championship) is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the top Dublin GAA Clubs. The winners of the Dublin Championship 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. The 2011 Dublin County Champions are St Brigids who defeated St Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh 0-10 to 0-8 in the final on November 6th 2011.

History

The first Dublin Football Championship took place in 1887, Erins Hope were the first Dublin Champions. St Vincents GAA have won the most titles (33). St. Brigids are the current Dublin Senior Football Champions.[1]

There were no champions in 1902 as there was no Dublin Football Championship that year. The 1902 final was played in 1903, with Bray Emmetts going on to represent Dublin and win the 1902 Leinster and All-Ireland Senior Football Championship representing Dublin (Six Bray Emmetts Players in all), a final which was played in 1904.[2]

The Dublin senior football championship had received a dramatic revamp for 2006. A backdoor system was introduced and the new system was on a two-year trial which ended in 2007. A whole new system was introduced for the 2008 competition, the teams were divided into groups which were based on seeding from the previous year.[3] The new system was to only involve the senior football championship. The backdoor system was restored for 2009 and has since remained with this structure.
