Laois are one of a select group of counties to have contested All-Ireland finals in both football and hurling. They are six times Leinster Senior Football Champions, and three times Leinster Senior Hurling Champions. </p><p>In recent times Laois have been more successful footballers than hurlers. Laois minors have had considerable success over the past two decades, and the Laois senior footballers reached the Leinster final in 2003 (victorious), 2004, 2005 and 2018. </p><p>Laois hurlers currently compete in the <a href="/wiki/Joe_McDonagh_Cup" title="Joe McDonagh Cup">Joe McDonagh Cup</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sponsorship">Sponsorship</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_GAA&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Sponsorship"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>MW Hire sponsored Laois GAA for 14 years, while Laois Hire was announced as its new sponsor in a five-year deal from October 2022 onwards.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Football">Football</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_GAA&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Football"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Clubs">Clubs</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_GAA&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Clubs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Gaelic_games_clubs_in_Ireland#Laois" title="List of Gaelic games clubs in Ireland">List of Gaelic games clubs in Ireland § Laois</a></div> <p>The major local club competitions in Laois are the championships which are listed below. </p><p>In addition, all teams compete in the <a href="/wiki/Laois_All-County_Football_League" title="Laois All-County Football League">All-County Football League</a> from Division 1 down to Division 7. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Laois_Senior_Football_Championship" title="Laois Senior Football Championship">Laois Senior Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Laois_Intermediate_Football_Championship" title="Laois Intermediate Football Championship">Laois Intermediate Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Laois_Junior_Football_Championships" title="Laois Junior Football Championships">Laois Junior Football Championships</a> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Laois_Junior_B_Football_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="Laois Junior B Football Championship">Laois Junior B Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Laois_Junior_C_Football_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="Laois Junior C Football Championship">Laois Junior C Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_Under_21_Football_Championship&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Laois Under 21 Football Championship (page does not exist)">Laois Under 21 Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_Minor_Football_Championship&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Laois Minor Football Championship (page does not exist)">Laois Minor Football Championship</a> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Portlaoise_GAA" title="Portlaoise GAA">Portlaoise</a> won <a href="/wiki/All-Ireland_Senior_Club_Football_Championship" title="All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship">All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship</a> in 1983. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="County_team">County team</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Laois_GAA&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: County team"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Laois_county_football_team" title="Laois county football team">Laois county football team</a></div> <p>Laois contested the second ever <a href="/wiki/All-Ireland_Senior_Football_Championship" title="All-Ireland Senior Football Championship">All-Ireland Senior Football Championship</a> (SFC) final in 1889.
