Derrygonnelly Harps were the defending champions for the fourth year running after they defeated Ederney St. Josephs's in the previous years final.

This season marked Belnaleck's return to the senior grade after claiming the 2018 I.F.C. (they also became the first side in Fermanagh football history to earn promotion from the J.F.C. and I.F.C. in two consecutive seasons). They last played top-flight football in the 1970s.

Derrygonnelly Harps successfully defended their title to claim a five-in-a-row of S.F.C. triumphs and the eighth in their history. They defeated Roslea Shamrocks in the final at Brewster Park by 0-10 to 1-3.[1]

Devenish St. Mary's were relegated back to the I.F.C. for 2020 after losing the Relegation Final to Teemore Shamrocks.
