The 2024 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship is the 56th instalment of the annual competition organised by Ulster GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship and is played in a straight knockout format.

Derry's Glen were the 2023 champions,[1] but lost the Derry county final and were unable to defend their title.

Errigal Ciarán from Tyrone won the championship, beating Kilcoo of Down by a point in the final. This was Errigal's third Ulster title and their first since 2002.[2]

Teams

[edit]

The Ulster championship is contested by the winners of the nine county championships in the Irish province of Ulster. Ulster comprises the six counties of Northern Ireland, as well as Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland.
