The defending champion was Glen; however, that club lost the Derry SFC final.[4][5]

The final was played on 19 January 2025 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Cuala and Errigal Ciarán, in what was their first ever championship meeting. Cuala won the match by 3–14 to 1–16 to claim a first title.[6]

Format

Each Irish county plays a county championship, with one club from each county progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. In this, each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland semi-finals.

The Kilkenny champion did not compete in Leinster, instead playing in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship, while the London champion competed in the Connacht Club SFC.
