There was no All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final in 1925. The 1925 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship ended in chaos, with first Mayo, and then Galway being proclaimed champions after Kerry and Cavan were disqualified. Instead, a new inter-provincial tournament was organised by the GAA Central Council, of which the final was played between Galway and Cavan on 10 January 1926.[1][2]
Galway were under pressure to cement their All-Ireland title, and soothe the dissatisfaction over the manner of their claiming it.[1]
Match summary
Galway won the match by two clear goals, 3–2 to 1–2.[3] It was their first ever All-Ireland football title, and it followed two previous losing appearances in the final (a loss to Kildare in 1919 and a loss to Dublin in 1922).[4] The GAA lists this match as the 1925 All-Ireland Final on their website, though it was the final of a distinct and seperate tournament.[5]
