The winner will represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Ratoath are the defending champions after defeating Summerhill in the 2022 final for their third S.F.C. title in their history and their third in four years having also won the Keegan Cup in 2019 and 2020. [1]
Having only been relegated to Intermediate in 2021, Dunshaughlin returned to the Senior Football Championship by beating Duleek/Bellewstown in the 2022 Meath Intermediate Football Championship final.[2]
