The 2018 Mayo Senior Football Championship was the 117th edition of the Mayo GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Mayo, Ireland. Sixteen teams competed with the winners going on to represent Mayo in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship. The championship started with a group stage and progressed to a knock out stage. The winners received the Paddy Moclair Cup.

Moy Davitts returned to the top-flight for the first time since their relegation in 2010, having claimed the 2017 Intermediate Championship title with a replay victory over Kiltimagh.

Castlebar Mitchels were the defending champions for the third season running after they defeated Ballintubber in the 2017 final. Ballintubber dethroned Mitchels in the semi-final following a replay, before defeating Breaffy in the final to win their 4th title. Crossmolina, 2001 All-Ireland champions, were relegated to the intermediate grade for the 2019 season.

Team Changes

As 2017 Intermediate Champions, Moy Davitts were promoted to the Senior Championship for 2018. They took the place of Ballinrobe, who were relegated from the Senior Championship at the end of the 2017 season.^[1] ^[2]

Clubs

The 2018 Championship was contested by 16 clubs: 4 of them from South Mayo, 4 from North Mayo, 4 from West Mayo, 4 from East Mayo.
