The county board is also responsible for the Roscommon inter-county teams. In 2014, with the help of sponsors and the Club Rossie initiative, a Roscommon GAA bus was bought to provide transport for all county teams to use. Roscommon 's Senior football team compete in the Connacht Senior Football Championship which they have won 23 times, a number far less superior to neighbours Galway and Mayo who have won 45 and 46 respectively. Roscommon won back - to - back All - Ireland Senior Football Championship titles in 1943 and 1944.

Roscommon 's rise from Junior status to Senior All - Ireland champions in the four years leading up to 1943 was one of the great romances of its time. In the All Ireland final they drew with Cavan before winning the replay with two quick goals from Frankie Kinlough and Jack McQuillan. Kinlough scored the goal and Donal Keenan the points the following year when Roscommon beat Kerry. Roscommon were captained by Jamesie Murray from Knockcroghery. Legend tells how Roscommon lost a six - point lead in the final three minutes of the 1946 All - Ireland Senior Football Championship final against Kerry, Tom Gega O'Connor and Paddy Kennedy scoring the goals. Roscommon were beaten in the replay ( Gerry Dolan made one of the greatest saves in Croke Park history against Laois in that year 's semi-final ). The injured team - captain, Jimmy Murray, was having blood wiped from his face to `` look right '' for the presentation when Kerry struck for two late equalising goals. Defeats in 1947, 1952 and 1953 semi-finals ended the party. The 1940s successes were the pinnacle of Roscommon 's achievements. They also reached the final in 1962. That year was memorable for they were losing the Connacht final to Galway by 5 points when Roscommon keeper Aidan Brady swung on the crossbar, breaking it in two. During the 15 - minute wait to get it replaced, Roscommon moved the great Gerry O'Malley to midfield in a re-organisation and he inspired their comeback to enable them to win the Connacht Championship. However, Kerry, once again, led by the great Mick O'Connell defeated them in the All - Ireland final thanks in no small way to an off - the - ball incident which led to O'Malley being stretchered off very early in the game. Roscommon 's next period of success came in the late 1970s when they won 4 Connacht titles on the trot from 77 - 80. they reached the final in 1980 against Kerry. They looked like causing an upset when John `` Jigger '' O'Connor's 35th - second goal helped them to an early 1 - 2 to 0 - 0 lead, but this was the Kerry team regarded as the greatest in history, and they eventually won by 1 - 9 to 1 - 6. A series of minor championships ( 1983, 1984, 1989 and 1992 ), and an All - Ireland Under - 21 final in 1982, showed the impact of that success and in 1990 and 1991 Roscommon emerged from Connacht again, succumbing to Meath by a single point in the 1991 All Ireland semi-final. Nine unsuccessful seasons followed before, in 2001, Roscommon regained the Connacht title following a brilliant win and performance over eventual All - Ireland champions Galway and a very dramatic end - of - match victory over Mayo. However, they failed to make any further progress in the 2001 All Ireland Championship and the decade that followed was amongst the least successful in the team 's history. On the field, outside of a very exciting run in 2003, the senior team failed to record any notable successes since their 2001 Connacht Championship title win until 2010. The success of the county 's Minor team in winning the All - Ireland title in 2006 offered hope, however. In 2010 Roscommon captured their 20th Senior Connacht football title. In the first round they defeated London in Ruislip 0 - 14 to 0 - 6. In the semi final played in Dr Hyde Park Roscommon beat Leitrim 1 - 13 to 0 - 11. In the final played in McHale Park, Roscommon overcame favourites Sligo on a scoreline of 0 - 14 to 0 - 13. Roscommon were subsequently beaten in the All - Ireland Quarter Final in Croke Park by Cork 1 - 16 to 0 - 10. Roscommon made their return to Division 1 of the National Football League in 2016 and enjoyed a successful campaign picking up wins against Kerry, Cork, Donegal and Down, before losing a League semi-final to Kerry at Croke Park. However, they endured a disappointing Championship. A draw against Galway in the Connacht Final in terrible conditions brought them to a replay in Castlebar, where Roscommon went on to lose by 11 points. They exited the All - Ireland Championship with a 4th Round Qualifier loss to Clare. Roscommon were subsequently relegated from Division 1 of the League in 2017 after losing all but 1 of their games. Roscommon beat Galway in the 2017 Connacht Senior Football Championship final on a scoreline of 2 - 15 to 0 - 12. Kevin McStay is the current manager of the team. McStay won the all Ireland club championship with Roscommon club St Brigids in 2013.
