Tyrone 0-12 v Armagh 0-09
  
A unique final between two Ulster counties, this is the first time that a football decider has featured two sides from the same province. Champions Armagh have revamped their challenge in the qualifiers and are the first county in 13 years to take an All-Ireland defence all the way to the final. In their way is Mickey Harte’s high-energy outfit, which humbled Kerry in the semi-final on the trail of the county’s first Sam Maguire win. All the ferocity of the Ulster championship except on a national scale.
