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.

The Kingdom (Kerry) won the replay with a Tom O'Mahoney goal.
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.
