The Ulster Senior Club Football League is an annual Gaelic football tournament played between a number of clubs in Ulster GAA. It starts with a group stage, with the group winners (and for 2008 the best group runner-up) advancing to the knockout stage. It is played in the early part of the year and is far less prestigious than the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship,with many sides viewing it as a warm-up to their respective county leagues and championships. However winning the Ulster Club League has proved a stepping stone for county championship success for several victorious clubs. The current Ulster League holders are Ballinderry of Derry.
