The 1997 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 110th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1997 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Kerry bridged an 11-year gap, the longest in their history, helped by nine Maurice Fitzgerald points.[1] Fitzgerald also broke Billy O'Shea's leg on the pitch.[2]
Mayo were hoping to bridge a gap that stretched all the way back to their All-Ireland football title winning team of 1951.[3] They failed, and would lose again to Kerry in 2004. And 2006. And then to Donegal in 2012 and Dublin in 2013.
