The 2010 All-Ireland Football Final was the 123rd event of its kind.[6] The last football match of the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, it was played between Cork and Down on 19 September 2010 in Croke Park, Dublin.
Cork were victorious, achieving their first All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title since 1990.[7][8] It was their seventh title in total.[9] This made them the sixth team in two decades to win both the league and championship in the same season.[10] It was the first time since the 2002 final – when Armagh won their first ever title – that a team other than Kerry or Tyrone were declared champions.[11][12]
This was the last occasion on which iconic broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh commentated on a final to a global audience, having announced his retirement days earlier after a six-decade career.[4]
The game was watched by the highest television audience for an All-Ireland Football Final in five years.[13]

After all, Cork will be going into today's All-Ireland as odds-on favourites to win their first football title in 20 years and only their seventh of all-time. They are also in with a chance of becoming just the sixth team in 20 years to do the league and championship double.
