The 2019 Kildare Senior Football Championship is the 126th edition of the Kildare GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Kildare, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams with the winner going on to represent Kildare in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship had a different format this year, employing a random draw for the first round, followed by seeded groups and a knock-out stage.
Moorefield were the defending champions for the second year running after they defeated Athy in the previous years final. They were looking to do the first 3 in a row since the great Sarsfields teams of the 50's and looked good only for Barry Coffey to score an equalising point in injury time to send the final to a replay. Their title challenge was undone when Newbridge rivals Sarsfields defeated them 2-15 to 2-9 on 27 October 2019 at St. Conleth's Park. This was Sarsfields' 25th S.F.C. crown. [2]
This was Two Mile House's debut in the senior grade after claiming the 2018 Kildare I.F.C. however they were relegated back the I.F.C. for 2020 when losing their Relegation Final to Raheens.
The following teams have changed division since the 2018 championship season.
