The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the inter-county Gaelic football tournament played between 31 counties of Ireland, London and New York. The draw for the 2009 championship took place on 9 October 2008.^[1] The tournament began on 10 May 2009.

The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final took place on 20 September 2009, contested by Cork and Kerry. This was the year Tadhg Kennelly made history by becoming the first person to ever hold AFL Premiership and All-Ireland winning medals in the sports of Australian rules football and Gaelic football—he previously won the biggest prize in Australian rules with Sydney Swans in 2005.^[2][3][4][5]

Structure

• Four knockout (single elimination format) provincial championships are played. London and New York compete in Connacht. The 4 provincial champions advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.
• The 16 teams eliminated before reaching a provincial semi-final compete in Round One of the Qualifiers (New York do not compete in the Qualifiers). The 8 Round One winners advance to Round Two.
• Qualifiers, Round Two: The 8 teams eliminated in provincial semi-finals each play one of the 8 Round One winners.
• Qualifiers, Round Three: The 8 Round Two winners play off to reduce the number to 4.
• Qualifiers, Round Four: The 4 teams eliminated in provincial finals each play one of the 4 Round Three winners.
• All-Ireland Quarter-Finals: The 4 provincial champions each play one of the 4 Round Four winners.
• The winners of the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals then advance to the Semi-Finals, and the winners of the Semi-Finals go on to the 2009 All-Ireland Final.
