The 2010 All-Ireland Football Championship final was the 123rd event of its kind. The last Gaelic football match of the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, it was played between Cork and Down on 19 September 2010 in Croke Park, Dublin.
Cork won the game, to secure a first All-Ireland SFC title since 1990. It was their seventh title in total. This made them the sixth team in two decades to win both the league and championship in the same season. It was the first time since the 2002 final – when Armagh won their first title – that a team other than Kerry or Tyrone were champions.
This was the last occasion on which iconic broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh commentated on a final to a global audience, having announced his retirement days earlier after a six-decade career.
The game was watched by the highest television audience for an All-Ireland SFC final in five years.
