See main article: Fermanagh county football team. The county team has never won an Ulster Senior Football Championship (SFC) but has contested the final on six occasions: 1914, 1935, 1945, 1982, 2008 and 2018.[1] [2] [3] Fermanagh is the only team in its province to have never won an Ulster SFC.
In Charlie Mulgrew's first season in charge, the county team reached the 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final after beating Meath[4] and Mayo in the qualifiers. The team went to a replayed 2004 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship[5] semi-final, beating Meath, Cork[6] and Donegal[7] and most memorably of all Armagh, thanks to a late point by Tom Brewster, before losing to Mayo.
