The 2014 Ulster Senior Club Football Championship was the 47th instalment of the annual competition organised by Ulster GAA. It is one of the four provincial competitions of the 2014–15 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship.

Derry's Ballinderry Shamrocks were the defending champions,[1] but defeat to Slaughtneil in the county final meant they couldn't defend their title.

Slaughtneil went on to win their first Ulster title, beating Tyrone champions Omagh St Enda's in the final.[2]

## Teams
