The 2021 champions, and holders of the Jack Daly Cup are Éire Óg, Ennis who bridged a fifteen year gap from 2006 to their nineteenth overall title. They defeated the reigning champions Kilmurry-Ibrickane by 1-11 to 0-09 in Cusack Park, Ennis.
In 2016 a Football Review Agreement decided that from 2019 onwards, a pathway would be left open for any amalgamations that wished to enter the senior championship and would be exempt from potential relegation. In 2019 two intermediate clubs - Naomh Eoin, Cross and O'Curry's, Doonaha - from the Loop Head Peninsula in West Clare took up this opportunity. However due to the Coronavirus Pandemic in 2020 and 2021, amalgamations were not permitted to enter the senior championship. In 2022 the pathway was reopened and after the relative success of Naomh Eoin-O'Curry's in 2019, their near neighbours St. Senan's, Kilkee joined them under the name Western Gaels for the 2022 senior championship.
