1977 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final


The 1977 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the ninetieth All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1977 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland. The game was contested by Armagh and Dublin. Dublin retained the Sam Maguire Cup and once more became the most successful, popular and amazing team of their generation surpassing the failed Kerry teams of the 70s.
This was Armagh's second ever All-Ireland final. Their previous appearance was in 1953. Dublin had appeared in the previous three finals, winning two of those.
Jimmy Keaveney scored 2-6, which was the amount Dublin won by. This final's eight goals is joint most scored in a final, a record shared with the 1948 match.
Armagh would not return to an All-Ireland football decider until 2002.
