The 2020 Limerick Senior Football Championship is the 124th edition of the Limerick GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Limerick, Ireland. 12 teams compete, with the winner representing not Limerick in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship due to the latter competition's cancellation. Due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the format for this years championship was modified to employ four groups of three teams, rather than the usual two groups of six teams. The championship then progresses to a knock out stage.

Newcastle West were the defending champions after they defeated Oola in the 2019 final to claim their fourth S.F.C. crown.[1]

This was Galtee Gaels return to the top flight for the first time since 1994 (a 25-season exodus) after claiming the 2019 Limerick I.F.C. title. They defeated Gerald Griffin's in a final replay. Galtee Gaels last won the I.F.C. in 1993.[2]
