Senior Football Championship final (10) (5) The 1912 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 25th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1912 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

The match pitted the Leinster champions Louth against Antrim, the champions of Ulster. Louth were aiming to repeat their 1910 success, while Antrim sought their first All-Ireland SFC title, having lost the previous year's final to Cork.

Chronicle of the match

Antrim won the toss, and the game began when Dublin Lord Mayor Lorcan Sherlock threw in the ball.

Louth led 0–2 to 0–1 at half-time. Antrim, who had beaten Kerry in the semi-final, were two points in front during the second half, but Louth came back strongly to win a second All-Ireland SFC title by five points.

Antrim's team included five Louth natives, among them captain John Coburn from Kilcurry. The gate receipts totalled £510, then a record for the Gaelic Athletic Association.
