Leinster Ladies' Senior Club Football Championship

The Leinster Ladies' senior football club championship is a Gaelic football tournament in Ireland that has been running since 1978. The trophy is named after the man who presented it, Bill Daly from County Cavan, who lived in Dublin and was involved with the Ballyboden St Endas team. Kilmacud Crokes are the current holders having secured their fourth title in November 2025, and will represent Leinster in the All Ireland series.[1]

  • The Bill Daly cup states that the 1979 winners were The Heath but evidence elsewhere points to this not being the case.
