2015 Armagh Senior Football Championship

The 2015 Armagh Senior Football Championship is the 115th official edition of the Armagh GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Armagh.

The championship has a back-door format for the first two rounds before proceeding to a knock-out format. Generally, any team to lose two matches will be knocked out of the championship.

Crossmaglen Rangers were the defending champions after they defeated Armagh Harps in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title and also claimed a six-in-a-row of titles (their 43rd altogether & their 19th in 20 years) when beating Armagh Harps again in the final at the Athletic Grounds on 11 October 2015 by 2-22 to 0-10.
