The Louth county football team represents Louth in men's Gaelic football and is governed by Louth GAA, the county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The team competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Leinster Senior Football Championship and the National Football League.
Louth's home ground for League matches is currently DEFY Páirc Mhuire, Ardee. Home fixtures in the All-Ireland Championship will be played at Inniskeen Grattans' pitch in Monaghan. As of late 2024, plans for a permanent base for the county side in Dundalk are currently progressing.[2]
The county senior team manager is Ger Brennan.
The team last won the Leinster Senior Championship and All-Ireland Senior Championship titles in 1957. Louth has never won a National Football League Division One title, finishing runners-up once in 1948-49.
