The 2015 Dublin County Champions are Ballyboden St. Enda's who defeated St. Vincent's.
History
The first Dublin Football Championship took place in 1887, Erin's Hope were the first Dublin Champions. St. Vincent's have won the most titles, having won on twenty seven occasions.[1] Ballyboden St. Endas are the the current Dublin Senior Football Champions having beaten previous holders St.Vincents in the final.
There were no champions in 1902 as there was no Dublin Football Championship that year. The 1902 final was played in 1903, with Bray Emmetts going on to represent Dublin and win the 1902 Leinster and All-Ireland Senior Football Championship representing Dublin (six Bray Emmetts Players in all), a final which was played in 1904.[2]
The Dublin senior football championship had received a dramatic revamp for 2006. A backdoor system was introduced and the new system was on a two-year trial which ended in 2007. A whole new system was introduced for the 2008 competition, the teams were divided into groups which were based on seeding from the previous year.[3] The new system was to only involve the senior football championship. The backdoor system was restored for 2009 but was then removed in 2012. The new format included the introduction of a 'Senior B' championship. All the teams that lost in the first round were placed within in competition which was run in parallel to the 'A' Championship.
