[[CLG Naomh Columba|Naomh Columba]] are the current holders, defeating [[Malin GAA|Malin]] in the 2025 decider.
==History== The competition has been won by 28 clubs, 13 of which have won it more than once.
[[Declan Bonner]] was [[Player-coach|player-manager]] of the 1989 winning team.<ref name=glimmer_of_hope>{{cite news|first=Declan|last=Bonner|authorlink=Declan Bonner|title=You need that glimmer of hope|work=[[Donegal News]]|date=23 April 2020|page=55}}</ref> He won the [[Ulster Senior Football Championship]] with his county in 1990, followed by another in 1992 and the [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]] of 1992 as well.
A young [[Jim McGuinness]] first came to the attention of then Donegal manager [[Brian McEniff]] in the 1990 final.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/2025/07/26/brian-mceniff-i-have-a-huge-gra-for-the-county-i-love-donegal-thats-just-it/|title=Brian McEniff: 'I have a huge grá for the county.

The most successful team to have emerged from the Donegal IFC in the 21st-century is [[Glenswilly GAA|Glenswilly]]. They went on to claim several SFC honours for the first time in club history (2011, 2013, 2016).

The 2006 final required two replays before [[CLG Chloich Cheann Fhaola|Cloich Cheann Fhaola]] defeated [[CLG Gaeil Fhánada|Gaeil Fhánada]].<ref>{{cite news|first=Ryan|last=Ferry|title=McConigley reflects on 2007 National League success|work=[[Donegal News]]|date=23 April 2020|pages=52–3}}</ref>
Initially a straight knock-out competition, a round-robin group stage was introduced in 2013.
With its 2023 title win, Na Dúnaibh became the first club to win the competition on four occasions, having previously done so in 1981, 1988 and 1993.<ref name=dlive_15102023/> They were joined by CLG An Tearmainn after their defeat of [[CLG Naomh Columba]] in 2024.

==Honours== The winning club receives the Cathal McLaughlin Memorial Cup. The winning club is [[Promotion and relegation|promote]]d to the [[Donegal Senior Football Championship]] for the following season.
The Donegal IFC winner qualifies for the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship. It is the only team from County Donegal to qualify for this competition. The Donegal IFC winner may enter the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship at either the preliminary round or the quarter-final stage.
The Donegal IFC winner — by winning the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship — may qualify for the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship, at which it would enter at the semi-final stage, providing it hasn't been drawn to face the British champions in the quarter-finals. The last team from County Donegal to do this was [[St Michael's GAA (Donegal)|St Michael's]] in 2004 who went on to reach the final, losing out to [[Ilen Rovers GAA|Ilen Rovers]] of Cork.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/easy-in-the-end-for-ilen-26010045.html|title=Easy in the end for Ilen|newspaper=[[Irish Independent]]|date=26 April 2004}}</ref>
