The Carlow County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association has organised it since 1889.
Rathvilly are the title holders (2024) defeating Palatine in the Final.
[1] The Carlow Senior Club Football Championship began in 1889 when O'Gorman-Mahon's (Parish of Kilbride, Ballon and Rathoe) defeated Tullow Stars and Stripes by a very low scoreline of 1-01 to 0-00.
The 1941 championship was abandoned due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease.
Éire Óg are the most successful team, having won the title on 31 occasions.
