The 2000 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 113th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 2000 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Kerry defeated Galway after a replay. There was controversy over the decision to hold the replay on a Saturday, instead of the usual Sunday. Since then games on days other than Sundays have become commonplace.[2] Kerry ultimately triumphed over Galway by a scoreline of 0–17 to 1–10.[3]
