The 2019 Dr McKenna Cup, known for sponsorship reasons as the Bank of Ireland Dr McKenna Cup, was a Gaelic football competition in the province of Ulster for county and university teams. It was held at the beginning of the GAA season.
Twelve teams took part – the nine Ulster county teams and three university teams, i.e. St Mary's University College, Belfast, Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University at Jordanstown (UUJ).
The draw was made on 5 December 2018[2][3] with the fixtures confirmed following a meeting of Comhairle Uladh CCC later in the month.
Donegal were the defending champions having defeated Tyrone in the 2018 decider.[4]
Tyrone were the 2019 champions beating Armagh in the final. Tyrone also won all five of their games.
