The Carlow Senior Football Championship (currently also known for sponsorship reasons as the Michael Lyng Motors Carlow SFC), is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition organised by Carlow GAA among the top Gaelic football clubs in County Carlow. The winning club qualifies to represent the county in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship, the winners of which progress to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.
The current (2016) senior football champions are Palatine.
History
The Carlow Senior Club Football Championship began in 1889 when Ballon O'Gorman-Mahon's defeated Tullow Stars and Stripes by a very low scoreline of 1-01 to 0-00. There was no Carlow senior club football championship between 1891 and 1897. The 1941 championship was abandoned due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. Éire Óg are the most successful team, having won the title on 26 occasions.
