The championship starts with a league stage and then progresses to a knock out stage. Although the COVID-19 pandemic brought forward the beginning and end dates for the championship, the format was not changed.
Castlerahan were the defending champions after they defeated Ramor United in the previous years final to claim their second ever S.F.C. title, as well as their second in a row. [1]
This was Laragh United's return the senior grade after a 19 year absence after claiming the 2018 Cavan Intermediate Football Championship title. They were last senior in 2001, losing the Relegation Play-Off Final that season to Knockbride. [2]
