Up until 1971, the Junior 'A' winners played against the Junior 'B' winners in the Junior Championship final, even though the teams involved in the final had played in different grades of football throughout the season.

From 2020 onwards, club reserve teams were not permitted to take part in the Junior Football Championship. The Junior 'B' Championship was abolished (with all first teams automatically promoted from it) and a separate Premier Football Championship for reserve teams was established.

Meath Junior Football Championship Roll of Honour

From the inaugural Junior B championship in 1958 until 1971, the winners of the Junior A Championship and the winners of the Junior B Championship would play in the Junior Championship final to determine promotion to the I.F.C. On many occasions, both teams were promoted.

Meath Junior 'B' Football Championship

The Junior B Football Championship was abolished after 2019. All 'B' teams and St. Paul's were incorporated into a new Premier Championship while all other first teams competing in the Junior B Football Championship were regraded to the Junior Football Championship.
