The winners of each county's junior football championship compete in four provincial championships. The four provincial winners compete in the All Ireland.

Ardfert, a club from Kerry, made history when they won the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship in 2006 and then won the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship in 2007.

Kerry clubs have enjoyed the most success, with ten clubs winning the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship since its official inauguration in 2004.

John Mitchells of Lancashire reached the 2009 final. They were the first team from outside Ireland to reach the final.
