County team
The county team has never won an Ulster Senior Football Championship (SFC) but has contested the final on six occasions: 1914, 1935, 1945, 1982, 2008 and 2018. Fermanagh is the only team in its province to have never won an Ulster SFC.
In Charlie Mulgrew's first season in charge, the county team reached the 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final after beating Meath and Mayo in the qualifiers. The team went to a replayed 2004 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final, beating Meath, Cork and Donegal and most memorably of all Armagh, thanks to a late point by Tom Brewster, before losing to Mayo.
Hurling Clubs contested the Fermanagh Senior Hurling Championship.
However, the competition has not been contested since 2013, with Fermanagh better known for providing the sport with the father of Seán Óg Ó hAilpín and featuring in a Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh quote about Ó hAilpín, as not being "a hurling stronghold". Only Lisbellaw enter the championship and represent Fermanagh in the Ulster Intermediate championship.
Clubs typically compete in leagues of neigbouring counties like Tyrone, Amagh or across Ulster or only compete in juvenile competitions.

Joe Baldwin managed Fermanagh for six years until May 2025, including to the 2024 Lory Meagher Cup. After criticising his own players, Baldwin announced he had "temporarily stepped aside" to allow selectors Conor Tinnelly and Seamus Breslin take charge of the 2025 Nicky Rackard Cup's last two games; Baldwin later stated he knew he had "lost the changing room", but preferred to wait until the campaign had concluded so that his departure would not distract the players.
