The 2015 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 128th edition of the GAA's premier inter-county Gaelic football since its establishment in 1887. 33 teams took part − 31 counties of Ireland (excluding Kilkenny), London and New York.
Dublin dethroned defending champions Kerry in the final, winning by 0-12 to 0-9.
A total of 33 teams contested the championship - 31 teams from Ireland plus London and New York. As in previous years, Kilkenny footballers did not field a team. New York does not participate in the qualifiers.
Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster organise four provincial championships on a knock-out basis. All the teams beaten in the provincial matches (except New York) enter the All-Ireland Qualifiers in rounds 1, 2 and 4. The qualifier matches are knock-out and eventually result in four teams who play in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals against the four provincial winners. From the quarter-finals onwards the competition is entirely knock-out.
RTÉ, the national broadcaster in Ireland will provide live television coverage of the championship. In the second year of a deal running from 2014 until 2016, a number of matches will also be broadcast by Sky Sports, with Sky having exclusive rights to some games.
