The 2015 Tyrone Senior Football Championship is the 110th edition of the Tyrone GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Tyrone in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Contents

Omagh St. Enda's were the defending champions after they defeated Carrickmore St. Colmcille's in the previous years final, however they were knocked out by Dromore at the quarter-final stage.

This season marked Dungannon and Greencastle's return to the senior grade. It was also Trillick St. Macartan's return to the grade and on the 11th October 2015, they claimed their 7th S.F.C. title when they defeated Killyclogher 1-9 to 0-11 in Healy Park in the final.

Donaghmore, Dungannon and Moy were relegated at the end of the 2015 S.F.L. campaign.

Format

The championship has a straight knock out structure. If a team loses a game they exit the championship. The 16 teams which take part in the championship are also the 16 teams in the Senior Football League (S.F.L.)

Relegation from S.F.C.: 3 teams are relegated each year from the S.F.C. & S.F.L. The 16th placed team in the S.F.L. is automatically relegated to the I.F.L. The 15th and 14th placed teams then play off in a S.F.L. Relegation Playoff with the loser being relegated. The winner of the S.F.L. Relegation Playoff must then play the winner of the I.F.L. Promotion Playoffs to determine their fate (The winner of the S.F.C. can't be relegated. If the championship winner finishes in the bottom 3 in the league, the 13th placed team enters the relegation scenario).

Promotion to S.F.C.: 3 teams are promoted to the S.F.C. each year. The I.F.C. champions, the I.F.L. champions are automatically promoted to the senior grade (If a team wins the I.F.C. and I.F.L. the 2nd placed team in the I.F.L. are automatically promoted). 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place in the I.F.L. enter the I.F.L. Promotion Semi-Finals (If the I.F.C. champions are placed in the top 5 the 6th placed team enter the I.F.L. Promotion Semi-Finals) with the eventual winner of the final earning the right to play the loser of the S.F.L. Relegation Playoff to determine their fate.
