The 2019 Mayo Senior Football Championship was the 118th edition of the Mayo GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Mayo, Ireland. Sixteen teams competed with the winners going on to represent Mayo in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship. The championship started with a group stage and progressed to a knock out stage. The winners received the Paddy Moclair Cup.

Belmullet returned to the top-flight for the first time in over 40 years (they last claimed the I.F.C. title in 1974), having claimed the 2018 Mayo Intermediate Football Championship title with a final victory over Burrishoole.

Ballintubber were the defending champions after they defeated Breaffy in the 2018 final. They successfully defended their title and claimed a "2-in-a-row" of Paddy Moclair Cups and their 5th overall when defeating Ballaghaderreen in the final at McHale Park.

Hollymount-Carramore were relegated to the 2020 I.F.C. after 4 seasons in the top-flight of Mayo football when losing their Relegation Final to Moy Davitts.
