Armagh Senior Football County Final - Gerry Fagan Cup 2026

What to Expect

The Gerry Fagan Cup - the Armagh Senior Football Championship county final - is the biggest day in the Armagh club football calendar. It is contested at BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh city, typically in October. The 2025 final saw Madden beat St Patrick’s Cullyhanna to claim their first-ever county title. In 2026, 16 clubs compete through group stages beginning in mid-August, quarter-finals, semi-finals and finally the county final.

Reigning 2025 champions Madden are joined by previous winners Clann Eireann (2024), Clan na Gael and Crossmaglen Rangers as the clubs most likely to challenge. The final is usually a sell-out atmosphere at the Athletic Grounds.
