Final
A last-minute goal by Bill Gorman (Kerry) forced a draw. After the game, Kerry's centre back Jack Murphy put his clothes back on without taking off his playing gear, and died of pneumonia before the replay.[1]
Replay
The Kingdom (Kerry) won the replay with a Tom O'Mahoney goal.[1]
It was the second of three All-Ireland football titles won by Kerry in the 1920s, which made them joint "team of the decade" with Dublin who also won three.[2]
