The 2009 All-Ireland Football Championship final was the 122nd event of its kind. Played between Cork and Kerry on 20 September 2009 in Croke Park, Dublin, it was the last football match of the 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Kerry won by a score of 0–16 to 1–09.[2][3][4][5][6] It was their 36th All-Ireland SFC title,[1][3][4][5][6] reaffirming their status as Gaelic football's most successful county.[7]

In playing for the winning team, Tadhg Kennelly became the first person to ever hold AFL Premiership and All-Ireland winning medals in the sports of Australian rules football and Gaelic football—he previously won the biggest prize in Australian rules with Sydney Swans in 2005.[3][4][5][8] Kennelly's former coach Paul Roos and some of his former Sydney teammates attended the game.[5][9] The game was also attended by international guests of the Global Irish Economic Forum which was taking place in Dublin on the same weekend.[10]

The game was televised nationally by RTÉ2, online by RTÉ.ie and internationally by RTÉ Radio 1, with match highlights being shown on The Sunday Game on RTÉ2 and RTÉ.ie that night.[11][12][13][14] RTÉ's coverage for the first time ever involved live pictures of its broadcaster Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh's commentary as given to RTÉ Radio 1 during the match; he appeared on The Late Late Show to discuss this with Ryan Tubridy.[15][16]
