The Greenlandic Football Championship (Greenlandic: Isikkamik Arsaalluni Pissartanngorniunneq, GM, Danish: Grønlandsmesterskab i fodbold) is the premier men's football competition in Greenland.[1] It was established in 1954 and since 1971, it has been organised by the Football Association of Greenland.[2] This association is not a part of FIFA or any other continental confederations. B-67 is the most successful football team to have won the championship.[1]

Format
The championship is often called an unusual and unique tournament as the finals last only one week.[3] This is because football clubs in the large country are so far apart.[2] Greenland has no roads between cities, so expensive air or lengthy sea travel is needed. Therefore the competition has several regional qualifiers, hosted at a single location, before the finals of 8 teams (as of 2022) are hosted at a single location, which changes year-on-year. These locations have included Ammassalik, Nanortalik and Kangaatsiaq.[4]
