About List of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finals in brief
The All-Ireland Men’s Senior Football Championship is the premier competition in Gaelic football. The tournament has taken place every year since 1887, except in 1888 when the competition was not played due to a tour of the United States by would-be competitors. The final has been played at Croke Park in Dublin since 1913, with the exception of the 1947 final which was played at the Polo Grounds in New York. As of 2017, Dublin have won the competition on 37 occasions, including two four-in-a-rows. The first Championship featured club teams who represented their respective counties after their county championship.
Teams from the southern province of Munster shared the early titles, with Limerick, Tipperary and Cork winning the first three finals. In the 1990s, a significant sea change took place, as the All- Ireland was claimed by an Ulster team in four consecutive years. The introduction of the qualifier system enabled Galway to reach and win that year’s final despite losing to Roscommon in the Connacht semi-finals.
