The 2015 Meath Senior Football Championship was the premier Gaelic football competition for senior clubs in County Meath, Ireland. Organized by Meath GAA, the championship formed part of the annual inter‑club season and served as a qualifier for the 2015 Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.
Competition format
- Participating clubs: Eighteen senior clubs were eligible to compete, having secured senior status through previous league and championship performance.
- Group stage: The clubs were divided into several groups (typically three groups of six teams each). Each team played the others in its group once, with points awarded for wins and draws. The top teams from each group, together with the best runners‑up, progressed to the knockout phase.
- Knock‑out phase: The qualifying teams entered a single‑elimination series consisting of quarter‑finals, semi‑finals, and a final. All knockout matches were decided on the day, with extra time and, if necessary, a replay for drawn fixtures.
Key outcomes
- Championship final: The culminating match was held at Páirc Tailteann in Navan, the traditional venue for Meath county finals.
- Winners: Navan O'Mahony's emerged as the champions, securing the county title for the 2015 season. Their victory granted them the right to represent Meath in the subsequent Leinster Club Championship.
- Runners‑up: The final was contested against St. Peter's, Dunboyne, who finished as the runners‑up.
Significance
Winning the Meath Senior Football Championship is considered a prestigious achievement within Gaelic football, reflecting a club’s dominance at county level. The 2015 title added to Navan O'Mahony's historic tally of county championships and reinforced the club’s stature within the province.
Subsequent competition
As county champions, Navan O'Mahony's participated in the 2015 Leinster Senior Club Football Championship, representing Meath at provincial level. Their performance in that tournament is documented separately in records of the Leinster club championship.
