The 2019 Clare Senior Football Championship was the 124th staging of the Clare Senior Football Championship since its establishment by the Clare County Board in 1887.
The 2018 champions, and holders of the Jack Daly Cup were St. Joseph's, Miltown Malbay who became the county champions for the second time in three years winning their fourteenth overall title.
In 2016 a Football Review Agreement decided that from 2019 onwards the Clare Senior and Intermediate Football Championships would both involve twelve teams in an effort to make both more competitive. This meant that five clubs would lose their senior status and be relegated down to the Clare Intermediate Football Championship. The eleven remaining senior clubs would be joined by the intermediate champions to form the new senior championship, and thereby increasing the intermediate championship from eight to twelve teams. 2018 saw the relegation of St. Joseph's, Doora-Barefield, Kilfenora, O'Curry's, St. Breckan's and Wolfe Tones down to Intermediate.
As part of the 2016 Football Review Agreement, a pathway was left open for any amalgamations that wished to enter the senior championship. Two intermediate clubs - Naomh Eoin, Cross & O'Curry's, Doonaha - both from the Loop Head Peninsula, took up this opportunity to compete together. According to the Clare GAA Master Fixtures Plan 2019, any amalgamations that enter a team are immune from relegation.[1]
