Qualification for subsequent competitions
Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship
The Roscommon IFC winners qualify for the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship. It is the only team from County Roscommon to qualify for this competition. The Roscommon IFC winners enter the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship at the quarter-final stage. For example, 2021 winner St. Faithleach's qualified for the Connacht final,[2] and won the game with a last-minute goal.[3][4][5][6] 2017 winner Michael Glavey's also won the Connacht final,[7] as did 2014 winner St Croan's.[8] That was the first time that this competition's winner also won the Connacht final since Western Gaels did so in 2004.[9]
All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship
The Roscommon IFC winners — by winning the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship — may qualify for the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship, at which they would enter at the semi-final stage, providing they haven't been drawn to face the British champions in the quarter-finals.
Roscommon Senior Football Championship
The winning club gains promotion to the Senior Championship.
