The 2013 All-Ireland Football Championship final, the 126th event of its kind and the culmination of the 2013 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, was played between Dublin and Mayo at Croke Park, Dublin on 22 September 2013. Mayo were defeated by Dublin by a single point on a scoreline of 2–12 to 1–14.[1]
Dublin went into the final looking for their second All-Ireland in three seasons. Mayo entered the 2013 final without a title since 1951, amassing a trail of six finals losses since then, most recently in the previous decider against Donegal.[2][3] They continued their losing streak for a seventh time, adding Dublin to a list of teams to have defeated them on All-Ireland final days of recent times, among them Donegal, Kerry, Meath and Cork.[4][5][6][7]
The game was televised nationally by RTÉ2 as part of The Sunday Game live programme, presented by Michael Lyster from Croke Park, with studio analysis from Joe Brolly, Pat Spillane, and Colm O'Rourke. Match commentary was by Ger Canning, with colour commentary by Martin Carney. It received a 74% audience share on television.[8]
