Football is the most popular of the county board's Gaelic games. The county football team won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 1993; it was the fourth from the province of Ulster to do so, following Cavan, Donegal and Down. The county team has also won six National League titles and seven Ulster Championships.
However, Derry is also regarded as a small dual county.
According to a 2015 TUD study by Shane Mangan, Derry had slightly more than over 9,100 players.
