The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 137th[5] final of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship and the culmination of the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. The match was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 28 July 2024.[6][7]

Armagh defeated Connacht champions Galway by one point, with a score of 1–11 (14) to 0–13 (13).[8][9][10] The teams had never previously met at this stage of the competition. For Armagh, it was a second title win (after 2002). For Galway, having recently lost the 2022 final to Kerry, the wait for a first title since 2001 went on.

The game was televised nationally on RTÉ2 as part of The Sunday Game live programme, presented by Joanne Cantwell from the Croke Park studio, with analysis from Peter Canavan, Tomás Ó Sé and Lee Keegan. Match commentary was provided by Darragh Maloney, assisted by Éamonn Fitzmaurice.[11] The game was also televised on BBC Two in Northern Ireland and internationally on GAAGO.[4]

An average of 889,000 people watched the game, with a peak figure of 1.08 million as the match reached its climax. The game received a 76% audience share.[12] RTÉ Player almost doubled its streaming numbers from the previous year's final between Dublin and Kerry.[12]
