The defending champion was St Eunan's.

Format

[1] The 2015 championship took the same format as the 2014 championship, in which there were four groups of four clubs, with the top two clubs qualifying for the quarter-finals. The club finishing bottom in each group contested relegation play-offs to determine which team would be relegated to the 2016 Donegal Intermediate Football Championship.
