Armagh county football team
Gaelic football team
The Armagh county football team ( ar-MAH) represents the Armagh GAA, a county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association, in Gaelic football. The team competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Ulster Senior Football Championship and the National Football League.
Armagh's home ground is the Athletic Grounds, Armagh. The team's manager is Kieran McGeeney. Their longest-standing rivalry is with Tyrone, another Ulster-based team and one of Armagh's geographic neighbors.
The team last won the Ulster Senior Championship in 2026, the All-Ireland Senior Championship in 2024 and the National League in 2005.
Colours and crest
Armagh's county colours are orange and white. Originally they wore black and amber striped shirts until 1926 when Dominican nuns from Omeath, in County Louth knitted the team a pair of orange and white kits ahead of a Junior clash with Dublin which they have kept since. However, the team wore a predominantly black strip against Kerry in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final.
Playing kit
Armagh are one of only four GAA counties whose strip is not provided by O'Neills; their playing kit is manufactured by Portadown-based McKeever Sports.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as gaelic football team. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q96372364. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2026, 2024, 2005 and 1926.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
