The 2025 Meath Senior Football Championship was the 133rd edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Meath, with 16 teams competing. The winner represented Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship started with a group stage and then progressed to a knock out stage.

Dunshaughlin were the defending champions after defeating Wolfe Tones to win their 4th S.F.C, and their first since 2002.[1]

For the first time in their history, Meath Hill won the I.F.C by defeating Navan O'Mahonys. This victory secured a place in the Senior Championship for the first time in Meath Hill's 121 year history.[2]

The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 22 January 2025[3], with the games commencing on 31 July 2025.

Meath Hill were relegated to the Meath Intermediate Football Championship after losing to St. Colmcille's in the relegation playoff final[4]. It was the first time since 2020 that a team stayed in the Meath Senior Football Championship for only one campaign.

On 12 October 2025, Summerhill played Ratoath for the 3rd time in 4 years in the final. Summerhill won their 9th Keegan Cup by defeating Ratoath 0-16 to 0-13. This was Summerhill's 2nd championship in the space of 3 years.[5]

The 2025 Meath S.F.C. consisted of 16 teams drawn into four groups each containing four teams. The top two teams progressed to the quarter-finals, while the bottom team in each group contested the Relegation Semi-Finals.
