Mayo ended a 75-year wait for their fourth All-Ireland Senior Football title with a 1-20 to 1-17 victory over Kerry in a thrilling final at Croke Park. The Westerners, who had lost 13 finals since 1951, overcame a slow start to deny Kerry a second consecutive title.

David Clifford's early goal helped Kerry lead 1-6 to 0-3, but Mayo rallied to trail by just one at half-time. Darragh Beirne's goal sparked a third-quarter surge, putting Mayo five points clear. Kerry fought back to within two points, but Tommy Conroy's late score sealed a famous win for manager Andy Moran's side.
