The 1970 Greenlandic Football Championship (also known as the {{langx|da|Fodboldturneringen}} Grønlandturneringen, Fodboldmesterskab i Grønland or {{langx|kl|Angutit Inersimasut GM}}) was the 8th edition of the Greenlandic Men's Football Championship and the final edition organised by Grønlands Idrætsforening before a dedicated Football Association of Greenland was established the following year. The final round was held in Sisimiut. It was won by Tupilak-41 who defeated Kissaviarsuk-33 5–3 in the final.
Background
The first federation to organise a national football championship in Greenland was the GIF ({{langx|da|Grønlands Idrætsforening}}), a general sports federation that organised more than just football tournaments, founded on 3 September 1953 at a meeting attended by eleven clubs from Upernavik, Uummannaq, Qeqertarsuatsiaat, Qasigiannguit, Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, Nuuk, Paamiut and Qaqortoq.{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/groenlchamp.html |title=Greenland – List of Champions |last1=Stokkermans |first1=Karel |last2=Pierrend |first2=José Luis |last3=Schöggl |first3=Hans |last4=Kubusch |first4=Lars |last5=Medaer |first5=Jan |last6=Outlaw |first6=Brian |last7=Rota |first7=Davide |date=20 Aug 2015 |website=RSSSF |access-date=12 October 2015}} The 1954–55 tournament was the first national football tournament and GIF continued to organise the competition, usually announced as Fodboldturneringen, Grønlandturneringen or Fodboldmesterskab i Grønland, until 1970. For the first decade of its existence, the tournament was held sporadically, with iterations often taking more than a year to complete. In 1971 a football specific federation, the Football Association of Greenland (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Nunaanni Isikkamik Arsaattartut Kattuffiat; {{langx|da|Grønlands Boldspil-Union}}), was founded, and took over the organisation of the tournament.
Results
No results are available for the season, although it is known that the championship was won by Tupilak-41 who defeated Kissaviarsuk-33 5–3 in the final held in Sisimiut, their second title and the fourth time in a row that the team had finished either first or second.
