1925 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final
The 1925 Central Council Tournament Final was not the All-Ireland Final as is sometimes stated. It had no bearing on the destination of the 1925 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

While Galway's All-Ireland title was not on the line, there was prestige to play for, and the chance to prove that they were worthy champions. [1]
