The 2019 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final featured Dublin and Galway. Dublin defeated Galway in a low scoring game, hindered by poor weather conditions. It rained throughout most of the game. Dublin led 1-00 to 0-01 at half-time. Hannah O'Neill provided the assist as Sinéad Goldrick scored a goal for Dublin in the 22nd minute. Galway remained competitive throughout the game and three minutes later, Sarah Conneally scored their opening point. Just fifteen seconds into the second half, Lyndsey Davey scored Dublin's first point. Davey would also provide the assist when Hannah O'Neill scored Dublin's second goal. Galway continued to remain in touch with Dublin thanks to two points via free kicks from their captain, Tracey Leonard. A point from her cousin, Roisín Leonard, made it a one-score game in the 54th minute. However a point each from Sinéad Aherne and Noëlle Healy subsequently secured the win for Dublin. Having started the decade without a single title, the result saw Dublin complete a three-in-a-row, winning their fourth title during the 2010s.[1][7][8][9]
