Mayo won their second All-Ireland in a row.
Limerick rejoined the Munster championship after a 2 year lapse break.
The Curse of '51
Mayo have not won an All-Ireland football final since 1951. Legend has it that a priest became furious when the Mayo team bus returning home from the 1951 final passed by a funeral without showing respect as they celebrated their All-Ireland win. The priest supposedly put a curse on Mayo, that they would not win another title until all of the team had died. All remaining members of the team had died by 2023. Paddy Prendergast, who was the final surviving member and played at full-back, died at the age of 95 on 26 September 2021. Mick Loftus, who was a sub and did not play on the day, died at the age of 93 on 22 April 2023.
There is no evidence of local belief in such a curse before the early 21st century.
