Paths to the final
Dublin easily defeated Kerry in the All-Ireland SFC semi-final, held in 1934 in Tralee.
Match
This year's final was played on 23 September.
Summary
A crowd of 36,143 attended the match.
The winning Galway team was the first to wear the now famous maroon and white colours of the county.
Bobby Beggs played for the losing Dublin team that day; he would line out for the winning Galway team in 1938.
This was Galway's second All-Ireland SFC title (the first was in 1925), and the first time the Sam Maguire Cup went west, since it had first been presented to the winning team in 1928.
