This is a round-up of the 1975 Sligo Senior Football Championship. Eastern Harps claimed their first title in only their third year in existence, after defeating Craobh Rua in the final. This was the last hurrah for Craobh Rua - they would later join forces with Muire Naofa to form the St. Mary's club for the following year.
