Pre-match
The final was the first time the teams had met since Bloody Sunday (21 November 1920); since then, the Anglo-Irish Treaty had been signed and 26 counties had been offered independence from British rule.
Match summary
Dan Breen threw the ball in and a late goal by Tom Arrigan sealed victory for Tipp. The Irish Civil War began just 17 days later.
It was Tipperary's fourth All-Ireland football title following success in 1889, 1895 and 1900. Football has since become the secondary GAA sport in the county, with hurling now being more prominent.
