==2021 Football season==

Public health measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of the Derry GAA season. Training of club teams was permitted from 12 April 2021 and competitive club matches began in Derry on 7 May 2021.

===2021 League and Championship Format===

The Derry Competitions Control Committee varied the league and championship competition rules as the season was delayed due to COVID-19 public health restrictions.

Derry club leagues were played but the final league position of a team in 2021 was not used to determine relegation or promotion within the football leagues. In 2022, the division which a team played in was determined by their performance in the 2021 football championships. Clubs played their league games without their county players until Derry were eliminated from the Ulster championship.

The 2021 senior championship began with the sixteen senior teams (all twelve teams from Division 1A plus four from Division 1B) playing in four groups of four - in 2019 the championship format was straight knockout. Each group was based on the results of the 2020 senior football championship and contained one 2020 semi-finalist, one 2020 beaten quarter finalist and two beaten teams from the 2020 first knockout round of sixteen teams. All sixteen teams progressed to the first knockout round with the group winners playing the fourth-placed teams and the second-placed teams playing the third-placed teams. The quarter-finals were determined by an open draw designed to avoid any repeat of the earlier group matches (if possible) and the semi-finals by an open draw.

The eight beaten teams in the first knockout round involving all sixteen teams progressed to the relegation playoff quarter-finals. The four beaten teams progressed to the relegation semi-finals with the losers playing off in the relegation final.

In 2022, Division 1A consisted of the eight winners of the first knockout round of eight games plus the four winners of the relegation quarter-finals. The remaining four teams were assigned to Division 1B (some of these teams might already be in Division 1B).

All the teams except the losers of the relegation final qualified to compete in the senior championship in 2022. The 16th place was allocated to the winner of the 2021 intermediate championship.

The remaining Derry championships were organised as an initial group phase followed by a knockout phase or as a straight knockout competition.

=== 2021 Promotions and Relegations ===

All promotions in 2021 were decided by performances in the senior championship and the relegation playoffs.

'''Senior Championship'''
* Foreglen conceded before the relegation semi final playoffs and were automatically relegated to the 2022 intermediate championship, thus making the relegation semi finals and final unnecessary.
* Steelstown beat Greenlough by 0-09 to 0-08 in the intermediate championship final. Steelstown replaced Foreglen in the 2022 senior championship.

'''Divisions 1A & 1B'''
* Banagher beat Dungiven by 1-09 to 0-09 in a relegation quarter final playoff. Banagher were promoted to Division 1A. Dungiven remained in Division 1B. In April 2022 the top Division was renamed the Derry Senior League and expanded from twelve to sixteen teams - Dungiven were installed in the new Senior League.
* Claudy beat Newbridge by 0-13 to 0-12 in a relegation quarter final playoff. Claudy remained in Division 1A. Newbridge were relegated to Division 1B. In April 2022 the top Division was renamed the Derry Senior League and expanded from twelve to sixteen teams - Newbridge were reinstated in the new Senior League.

==2020 Football season==

Public health measures (including a lockdown and social distancing) were introduced in March 2020 in order to combat the ]. As a result the Derry GAA competitions were delayed and/or cancelled.

===2020 Championship Football===

Derry GAA pitches were closed between March 2020 and June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Derry Competitions Control Committee restructured the championships. The senior championship began with the sixteen senior teams playing in four groups of four (in 2019 the championship format was straight knockout). All sixteen teams progressed to the first knockout round with the group winners playing the fourth-placed teams and the second-placed teams playing the third-placed teams. The quarter-finals were determined by an open draw designed to avoid any repeat of the earlier group matches (if possible) and the semi-finals by an open draw.

The remaining Derry championships were restructured to an initial group phase followed by a knockout phase or further group phase.

After the 2018 season, the adult football leagues in Derry were restructured to Division 1A - 12 teams, Division 1B - 12 teams and Division 2 - 13 teams (Ógra Colmcille opted out in 2019). Previously there were 16 teams in Division 1, 14 teams in Division 2 and 8 teams in Division 3.<ref>{{cite web|title=Derry confirm changes to league and championship structures {{!}} Derry Now|url=https://www.derrynow.com/sport/gaa-derry-confirm-changes-league-championship-structures/205634|website=Derry Now|accessdate=16 February 2018|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210003904/https://www.derrynow.com/sport/gaa-derry-confirm-changes-league-championship-structures/205634|archive-date=10 February 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> Five teams were relegated from 2018 Division 1 to the new Division 1B (see below for details). The 2019 senior championship was competed for by the top 15 teams in the 2018 Division 1 and Banagher, the winners of the 2018 Division 2 and winners of a relegation/promotion playoff against Newbridge.

===2018 Sean Larkin Cup===

The Division 1 League Cups were initiated in 2018 to provide football for club players during the summer break in the Division 1 League and to facilitate the Derry county teams. Clubs competed in one of the two League Cups (also known as the Dr. Kerlin Cup and the Sean Larkin Cup, the former North and South Derry District Cups) without their county players who were part of the county panels competing in the Ulster senior football championship, the Ulster under-20 football championship and the Christy Ring Cup.

Bellaghy Wolfe Tones Gaelic Athletic Club (Irish: CLG Baile Eachaidh) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Bellaghy, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The club is a member of Derry GAA and currently competes in gaelic football and camogie.

Bellaghy have won 21 Derry Senior Football Championships, four Ulster Senior Club Football Championships and the 1971-72 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship. Bellaghy camogie club have won two Derry Senior Camogie Championships.

On 12 May 1997, the Club Chairman, Sean Brown, was attacked and abducted by a Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) gang as he locked the main gate of the GAA grounds on the Ballyscullion Road. Less than an hour later the body of the father-of-six was found lying beside his burnt-out car just off the Moneynick Road near Randalstown, County Antrim. He had been shot six times. On 19 January 2004 the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland published a report that was highly critical of the police investigation into Brown's killing, stating "the police investigation was incomplete and inadequate".
