The 2019 London Senior Football Championship was the 116th edition of London GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in London. The tournament consists of 8 teams, with the winner going on to represent London in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Tír Chonaill Gaels were the defending champions after they defeated Fulham Irish in the previous years final after a replay. [1] [2]
Neasden Gaels made the straight bounce back to the senior grade after just one seasons in the Intermediate grade by winning the 2018 London I.F.C. after a 2-13 to 0-13 final victory over St. Joseph's. This was their third I.F.C. triumph overall and their first since 2016. [3]
On 20 October 2019 Tír Chonaill Gaels claimed their 19th S.F.C. crown and second in a row when defeating Fulham Irish in the final by 1-11 to 1-10 at McGovern Park for the second year running. [4]
Parnells were relegated to the 2020 I.F.C. after conceding two walk-overs in the group stages and were subsequently eliminated.
