The 2019 Roscommon Senior Football Championship is the 119th edition of the Roscommon GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Roscommon, Ireland. 12 teams compete, with the winner representing Roscommon in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Clann na nGael were the defending champions after they defeated St. Brigid's in the 2018 final to claim their 21st S.F.C. crown.[1]
This was Fuerty's debut in the top flight of Roscommon football after claiming the 2018 I.F.C. title.
St. Faithleach's were defeated by St. Croan's in their Relegation Final and so were relegated back to the I.F.C. for 2020 after spending 17 seasons in Roscommon football's top-flight (since their last I.F.C. title in 2002).
On 20 October 2019 Padraig Pearses won their first ever championship title on when defeating Roscommon Gaels 2-10 to 1-10 in the final at Dr. Hyde Park.[2]

One third placed team from one of the three groups will receive a bye into the quarter-finals in an open draw. The remaining two 3rd placed teams will meet in a Quarter-Final Play-Off to determine the team that completes the quarter-finals lineup. The 4th placed teams will proceed to the Relegation Play-Off to determine which team will suffer relegation.
