Walterstown were the defending champions after they defeated Syddan in the previous years final. However, they lost their crown when losing to eventual champions Navan O'Mahonys at the Semi-Final stage.

This was Nobber's first ever period in the senior grade after claiming the 1980 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

On 18 October 1981, Navan O'Mahonys claimed their 10th Senior Championship title, when defeating Skryne 1-14 to 0-5 after a replay in Pairc Tailteann, Navan. This was the 6th time an S.F.C. final was decided after a replay. Ben Tansey raised the Keegan Cup for O'Mahonys while Finian Murtagh claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
