The Connacht Junior Football Championship is a junior "knockout" competition in the game of Gaelic football played in the province of Connacht in Ireland. The series of games are organised by the Connacht Council. The competition began in 1906, with Mayo winning during the inaugural year. The most successful county to date is Mayo who have won on twenty-seven occasions. The 2013 Connacht Junior Football champions were Sligo. The winners of the Connacht Junior Football Championship each year progress to play the other provincial champions for a chance to win the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship.
