The 2025 Kildare Senior Football Championship was the 132nd 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 started with a preliminary round sorted by a random draw, followed by a group stage and finally a knockout stage.
Naas were the defending champions this year after they defeated Celbridge in the previous years final. This was Naas' 4th Senior Football Championship in a row.[1]
Caragh returned to the senior grade for the first time since 2001 after defeating Leixlip in the 2024 Kildare Intermediate Football Championship.[2]
On 19 October, Athy defeated Naas 1–17 to 0–18 in the final. This is Athy's 8th championship win and their first since 2020.[3]
Confey were defeated by Allenwood in the Relegation Play-off 1–16 to 0–13, meaning that they will play in the 2026 Kildare Intermediate Football Championship for the first time since 2011.[4]
Championship structure
The 2025 Senior Football Championship consisted of 16 teams drawn against each other in the preliminary round.

In the winners groups, the top two teams head straight into the quarter-finals while the 3rd placed team plays in a preliminary quarter-final.
