The Connacht Senior Football Championship, known simply as the Connacht Championship and shortened to Connacht SFC, is an annual Gaelic football competition for the senior county teams of Connacht GAA. All of the county teams of Connacht participate in the championship, as well as London and New York. The winning team receives the Nestor Cup.{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2009/0719/252214-mayo/|title=Galway 1–14 Mayo 2–12|publisher=RTÉ|date=19 July 2009|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107064958/http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/football/2009/0719/252214-mayo/|archivedate=7 November 2012}}
The Connacht SFC is run on a knock-out basis through which teams are eliminated from the competition. A series of games are played during the summer months and the final is played in June or July. The winner and runner-up progresses directly to the All-Ireland SFC Group Stage. Before 2020, all losing teams progressed to the All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers, while, prior to 2001, the All-Ireland SFC was a straight knock-out format, which meant all losing teams were eliminated after a single defeat.
Galway are the three-time title holder, having defeated Mayo by 0–16 to 0–15 in the 2024 final.
History
Galway are Connacht's most successful county, with 50 Connacht SFC titles and 9 All-Ireland SFC titles. Mayo are next, with 47 Connacht SFC titles and 3 All-Ireland SFC titles. Roscommon have won the Connacht SFC title 24 times, most recently in 2019, as well having won 2 All-Ireland SFC titles. Apart from those three, no other team competing in Connacht has won an All-Ireland SFC title.
Sligo have won the Nestor Cup three times, most recently in 2007. Leitrim have won the competition twice, most recently in 1994.
London have competed in the Connacht SFC since 1975, while New York joined in 1999. In this time London have managed three victories: one in 1977 and two in 2013, against Sligo and Leitrim.{{cite news|url=http://www.thescore.ie/london-sligo-shock-victory-half-time-925641-May2013/|title=London shock Sligo to secure first Connacht SFC victory since 1977|work=The Score|date=26 May 2013|access-date=26 May 2013|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131202233100/http://www.thescore.ie/london-sligo-shock-victory-half-time-925641-May2013/|archive-date= 2 December 2013}}{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2013/0526/452776-london-dump-sligo-out-of-connacht/|title=London dump Sligo out of Connacht|work=RTÉ|date=26 May 2013|access-date=26 May 2013}}{{dead link|date=June 2017|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/london-end-36-year-wait-for-connacht-championship-glory-1.1406892|title=London end 36-year wait for Connacht championship glory|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=26 May 2013|access-date=26 May 2013}} New York recorded their first, and, so far, only, victory in the championship over Leitrim in 2023.{{cite web|date=2023-04-09 |title=Connacht SFC: New York earn historic win |url=https://www.gaa.ie/football/news/connacht-sfc-new-york-earn-historic-win/}}

Managers
{{See also|List of Gaelic football managers}}
Managers in the Connacht SFC are involved in the day-to-day
running of the team, including the training, team selection, and sourcing of players from the club championships. Their influence varies from county-to-county and is related to the individual county boards. From 2018, all inter-county head coaches must be Award 2 qualified. The manager is assisted by a team of two or three selectors and an extensive backroom team consisting of various coaches. Prior to the development of the concept of a manager in the 1970s, teams were usually managed by a team of selectors with one member acting as chairman.
