Cork were victorious, achieving their first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title since 1990. It was their seventh title in total. This made them the sixth team in two decades to win both the league and championship in the same season. It was the first time since the 2002 final – when Armagh won their first ever title – that a team other than Kerry or Tyrone were declared champions.
This was the last occasion on which iconic broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh commentated on a final to a global audience, having announced his retirement days earlier after a six-decade career.
The game was watched by the highest television audience for an All-Ireland Football Final in five years.
