The 2011 Donegal Senior Football Championship was contested by senior Gaelic football clubs under the auspices of Donegal GAA. Glenswilly were 2011 Champions, their first ever title. St Michael's also made their first final appearance.[1]
The Final, broadcast on TG4 and contested by Glenswilly and St Michael's, produced a novel pairing as neither side had ever won before and they had only one losing final appearance between them, that of Glenswilly in 2007. Members of the winning team would each receive a personalised medal engraved with both their name and number from county final day.[3]
