Background

edit
  • Armagh are aiming to win their second All-Ireland; their first was in 2002. They were also beaten finalists in 1953, 1977 and 2003.
  • Galway are aiming to win a tenth All-Ireland; this would make them only the third county to reach double figures in the all-time rankings. Their last All-Ireland was in 2001; they were beaten finalists in 2022.
  • This final is the sixth to be contested by county teams from Connacht and Ulster: the others were 1925 (Galway beat Cavan), 1943 (Roscommon beat Cavan), 1948 (Cavan beat Mayo), 2012 (Donegal beat Mayo) and 2021 (Tyrone beat Mayo).[5]
