Louth Under-21 Football Championship

The Louth Under-21 Football Championship was an annual competition organised by Louth GAA for Gaelic football teams in County Louth.

History
First contested in 1972, the inaugural winners were Cooley Kickhams. As is the case nationally, amalgamated parish teams were a regular feature of the competition due to lack of numbers. The county board removed the competition from the calendar in the mid-1980s but it returned in 1991. The competition has on occasion been run as an under-20 tournament, in line with changes introduced by the GAA in 2018. It reverted to the U-21 format in 2022. The county board scrapped the competition in 2023, when a new under-19 football championship was introduced in its place.

The McGeough Cup was presented to the captain of the winning side.
