The 2015 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 128th edition of the GAA's premier inter-county Gaelic football since its establishment in 1887. 33 teams took part − 31 counties of Ireland (excluding Kilkenny), London and New York.

Dublin dethroned defending champions Kerry in the final, winning by 0–12 to 0–9.{{cite web|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2015/0920/729102-dublin-v-kerry/|title=Dublin grind down Kerry to win 25th All-Ireland|date=20 September 2015|work=RTÉ Sport|access-date=21 September 2015}}{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/frank-roche-picks-his-footballer-goal-point-of-the-year-and-his-endofseason-awards-31549797.html|title=Frank Roche picks his footballer, goal, point of the year and his end-of-season awards|date=23 September 2015|work=Irish Independent|access-date=23 September 2015}}

Teams

A total of 33 teams contested the championship – 31 teams from Ireland plus London and New York. As in previous years, Kilkenny footballers did not field a team. New York does not participate in the qualifiers.

Format

Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster organise four provincial championships on a knock-out basis. All the teams beaten in the provincial matches (except New York) enter the All-Ireland Qualifiers in rounds 1, 2 and 4. The qualifier matches are knock-out and eventually result in four teams who play in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals against the four provincial winners. From the quarter-finals onwards the competition is entirely knock-out.

All-Ireland Series

=Qualifiers=

==A and B teams==

An A and B system for the qualifying draws was introduced in 2014 and continued in 2015. The teams were designated as A or B depending on which half of their provincial championships they were initially drawn to play in. Typically the provincial draws were not seeded, resulting in random A and B team designations.

In all qualifier rounds A teams played A teams and B teams played B teams. Usually the A teams completed their provincial games before the B teams, which allowed the A qualifier games to be scheduled a week before the B qualifier games.

==Round 1==

The first round consisted of all teams that failed to reach their provincial semi-finals, with the exception of New York. 16 teams in total took part.

In round 1 four A teams played four A teams and four B teams played four B teams. The eight round 1 winners played the eight beaten provincial semi-finalists in round 2 of the qualifiers.

The following teams took part in this round:
