The Clare Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition organised by Clare GAA between the top sixteen gaelic football clubs in County Clare, Ireland. The winners qualify to represent the county in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship, the winner of which progresses to represent the province in the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. The Clare SFC final is generally held in the month of October and is played at Cusack Park in Ennis.
In 2014 Cratloe completed a historic first Clare Senior Championship 'Double' in 85 years since the famous Ennis Dalcassians in 1929.
The current (2015) county champions and holders of the Jack Daly Cup are St. Joseph's, Miltown, who as rank outsiders bridged a 25 year gap from their last title in 1990 to become county champions for a thirteenth time.
