(11) (1) The 1919 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 32nd All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1919 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Background

This was Galway's first appearance in an All-Ireland SFC final.

Wexford were the reigning champions, having completed a first senior four-in-a-row in 1918. However, Wexford did not qualify for the 1919 final as they were knocked out in the semi-final of that year's Leinster Senior Football Championship.

Match

This year's final was played on 28 September.

Summary

Kildare won an extremely one-sided final, with goals from Frank "Joyce" Conlan and Jim O'Connor.
