The 1914 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 27th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1914 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Wexford led 2-0 to 0-1 at half-time, but Kerry fought back to score five points in the second half - Dick Fitzgerald scoring a point in the last minute. The replay took place on an extremely windy day; Wexford had the breeze in the first half and scored six points without reply, while Kerry scored 2-3 without reply in the second half to take their second title in a row. More than 26 special trains brought spectators to the match from across Ireland.[1][2][3] Harry Boland was the referee; he was later a close associate of Michael Collins during the Irish War of Independence, and fought and died on the anti-treaty side during the Irish Civil War.
