The 2006–07 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship was the 37th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1970-71. The championship began on 15 October 2006 and ended on 1 April 2007.

Salthill-Knocknacarra were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Corofin in the second round of the 2006 Galway County Championship.[1]

On 1 April 2007, Crossmaglen Rangers won the championship following a 0-13 to 1-05 defeat of Dr. Crokes in the All-Ireland final replay at O'Moore Park.[2] It was their fourth championship title overall and their first title since 2000.[3]

Colm Cooper of the Dr. Crokes club was the championship's top scorer with 6-23.

Team changes

There were no representatives from the Kilkenny County Championship for the first time ever, as the Kilkenny County Board decided to regrade and enter their championship-winning team (Erin's Own) into the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.
