Qualification for subsequent competitions

Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship

The Sligo IFC winners qualify for the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship. It is the only team from County Sligo to qualify for this competition. The Sligo IFC winners enter the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship at the quarter-final stage. For example, 2012 winner Bunninadden played in the Connacht IFC final. This was the first since 2004 winner Calry/St Joseph played in the Connacht IFC final.

All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship

The Sligo IFC winners — by winning the Connacht Intermediate Club Football Championship — may qualify for the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship, at which they would enter at the semi-final stage, providing they haven't been drawn to face the British champions in the quarter-finals.

Trophy

The trophy presented to the winning team is the Joe McMorrow Cup.
