The 1955 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 68th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1955 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland. A then record crowd attended.[2] The game went down in history as "famous" and a "classic".[2][3] The team's relationship with the Hill 16 terrace has been traced to this day.[1] It also marked the arrival of an indigenous Dublin team onto the national stage; previous Dublin teams had hired countrymen to fill their ranks.
