- The Ulster Senior Football Championship is an inter-county competition for Gaelic football teams in the province of Ulster. It is organised by the Ulster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) and begins in early May. The final is usually played on the third Sunday in July. All nine Ulster counties participate. It is regarded as hardest to win of the four provincial football championships. At a referee conference in January 2015, David Coldrick said about officiating in the competition: "Ulster makes or breaks you. It can be a graveyard. The games are different. There is an extra dimension and intensity, and you must be at your best. If you aren't prepared physically and mentally, the chances are you will be caught out. But when you are appointed for your first Ulster championship match, that's making progress". Derry are the current champions after beating Donegal in 2022. The winners receive the Anglo-Celt Cup, which was presented to the Ulster Council in 1925 by John F. O'Hanlon, who was editor of The Anglo-Celt newspaper based in Cavan. Cavan are the most successful team in Ulster Championship history, having won the competition on 40 occasions. Cavan maintain the record for consecutive appearances in Ulster Finals. During the 1930s and 1940s, they appeared in and won seven consecutive Ulster titles. Fermanagh remain the only team not to have won an Ulster title. The Ulster Senior Football Championship celebrated its 125th year in 2013. For many decades, winning the Ulster Senior Football Championship was considered as much as a team from Ulster could hope for, as the other provinces were usually much stronger and more competitive. Before 1990, only Cavan in 1933, 1935, 1947, 1948 and 1952, and Down in 1960, 1961 and 1968, had won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title. In the 1990s however, a significant sea change took place, as the Ulster Champions won the All-Ireland in four consecutive years from 1991 to 1994. Since then Ulster has produced more All-Ireland winning teams than any other province. Currently the Ulster Senior Football Championship is considered one of the toughest provinces to compete in. Ulster teams have gained considerable dominance on the All-Ireland scene, having won three All-Irelands from four in the early 2000s, including in 2003 when for the first time ever, the All-Ireland football final was competed for by two teams from one province. The Ulster football final is normally played on the third Sunday in July, usually at St Tiernach's Park in Clones. From 2004 until 2006, it was staged at Croke Park in Dublin. The 2007 final—contested by Monaghan and Tyrone—marked a return to Clones, with Tyrone emerging victorious. The Athletic Grounds in Armagh hosted the 2020 final, as the fixture was played behind closed doors due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The final was last played in Belfast in 1971. In the 2000s, Armagh were a dominant force in Ulster, winning six titles in eight years between 1999 and 2006. Donegal won consecutive Ulster titles from the preliminary round in 2011 and 2012 (a feat achieved by no other county) and added the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 2012. The 2019 final had the highest score for the winning team in the final (Donegal that year) since 1933 when Cavan won, and the second highest score ever. It also had the highest Ulster final score for the losing team ever (Cavan on this occasion). (en)
- LUlster Senior Football Championship è il principale torneo di calcio gaelico della provincia Irlandese dell'Ulster. È organizzato secondo la tipologia dell'eliminazione diretta in gara unica e si disputa durante i mesi estivi, e termina con la finale che di solito si gioca durante il mese di luglio presso il St. Tiernach's Park di Clones, tuttavia tra 2004 e 2006 si giocò a Croke Park. È ritenuto il più combattuto visto l'equilibrio tra le varie franchige delle contee dei quattro Provincial championships. La vincitrice entra di diritto nei quarti di finale dell'All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, mentre le altre disputano il ripescaggio secondo il regolamento All-Ireland. Cavan è la contea più titolata della provincia con ben 39 successi, anche se in tempi recenti il predominio è stato assunto da Armagh che ha vinto 6 titoli tra 1999 e 2007. Fermanagh è l'unica a non avere mai vinto il trofeo. Per molto tempo il titolo dell'Ulster era il massimo cui potevano ambire le squadre di tale provincia vista la netta superiorità delle altre contee. Finno agli anni 90 il titolo ALL-Ireland era stato infatti solo vinto da Cavan nel 1933, 1935, 1947, 1948 e 1952 e Down nel 1960, 1961 e 1968. Tra '91 e '94 tuttavia l'Ulster vinse quattro titoli di fila e anche 4 nel terzo millennio. Addirittura nel 2003 per la prima volta in assoluto si sfidarono nella finale ALL-Ireland due franchige della stessa provincia, proprio quella in questione: Tyrone e Armagh. La prima ebbe la meglio.
