The Connacht Senior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition for the senior county teams of Connacht GAA. All of the counties of Connacht participate in the championship, as well as counties London and New York. The winning team receives the Nestor Cup.

The Connacht Senior Football Championship is run on a knock-out basis in which they are eliminated from the competition. A series of games are played during the summer months and the final is played in June or July. The winners and runners-up progresses directly to the All-Ireland Group Stage. (before 2020, all losing teams progress to the All-Ireland Qualifiers and before 2001 the All-Ireland was a straight knock-out format meaning all losing teams were eliminated after a single defeat).

Galway are the two time title-holders, defeating Sligo by 2-20 to 0-12 in the 2023 final.

The competing counties play for the JJ Nestor Cup, which is presented to the winning captain on Connacht Final Day.
