1984 Meath Senior Football Championship


The 1984 Meath Senior Football Championship is the 92nd edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 15 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
Walterstown were the defending champions for the second year in a row after they defeated Navan O'Mahonys in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title when beating Skryne 2–9 to 1–7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann on 30 September 1984. This was their 5th S.F.C. success. Gerry Cooney raised the Keegan Cup for Walterstown while Martin Barry claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
This was Moynalvey's first ever period in the senior grade after claiming the 1983 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.
Gaeil Colmcille and Martinstown/Athboy were regraded to the I.F.C. after 19 and 5 years as senior clubs respectively.
