2015 Connacht Senior Football Championship
The 2015 Connacht Senior Football Championship will be the 116th installment of the annual Connacht Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of Connacht GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2015 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Mayo will enter the competition as defending Connacht champions.
The draw to decide the fixtures was made on 10 October 2014.[1] As in previous competitions, the opponents of London and New York in the opening round were decided in advance. The teams that visit the 'Exiles' are chosen on a cyclical basis. As in the 2010 Connacht Championship five years previously, Roscommon face London and Galway face New York. Mayo and Sligo were given byes to the semi-final stage.
Under GAA rules introduced in 2014 to allow counties to more easily predict the dates of their qualifier matches, the two sides of the draw were named as either A or B. London, Roscommon and Sligo were named on the A side of the draw, while Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and New York's draw was named as the B side. New York, as in previous seasons will not compete in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
