History

In its early years, the competition was more transitional, with Caulry winning against Tyrrellspass in the 1946 IFC final and qualifying for the senior championship in the same year.[1]

The 1973 final was held at Páirc Chiaráin in Athlone, the first major championship final held there in more than two decades.[1]

Garrycastle won the 1997 final (after a replay), four years before they went on to win the senior championship.[1]

The 1999 final required three games to separate the teams.[1]

Pat Flanagan, later manager of the senior Westmeath county team, was in charge of Kilbeggan Shamrocks when they won the 2000 final.[1]

Ballinagore won the 2007 competition, following on from winning the Westmeath and Leinster junior titles of two years previously.[1]

Maryland won the 2008 final (after a replay, which went to extra-time), having earlier linked up with Marty Whelan to win Celebrity Bainisteoir.[1] Kieran Martin scored a goal in the drawn game.[1] It was Martin who scored the decisive solo goal in the inaugural Tailteann Cup final, winning that title for Westmeath fourteen years later.[2][3][4] Back in 2008, Maryland won an in IFC final at the tenth effort (if replays are counted) since the club last won the title in 1980.[1]

Tubberclair defeated Ballynacargy in the 2009 final, then went on to the Leinster Intermediate Football Championship final.[1]

Jack Cooney was manager of Coralstown/Kinnegad when the club won the 2011 final against Castletown-Finea/Coole/Whitehall.[1]

Former Roscommon player Francie Grehan managed Caulry to the 2014 title.[1]

The 2017 champions were St Mary's Rochfortbridge, who had been promoted for 2008 after winning the Westmeath Junior Football Championship.[citation needed]
