The 1928 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 41st All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1928 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Cavan claimed that Paddy Loughlin's late goal was thrown into the net. Patsy Devlin hit a goal back to equalise, but Bill Mangan scored a point to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time.[1]

1928 was the first year in which the Sam Maguire Cup was awarded to the All-Ireland football winner; the cup is still awarded to the winning team.[2]
