The championship has become known for the farcical manner in which the title was awarded. There was no 1925 All-Ireland Football Final. The Connacht final had not been held by the time the semi-finals were played; Mayo were nominated to represent the province. In the semi-finals, Mayo beat Wexford and Kerry beat Cavan. However, both Kerry and Cavan were disqualified for fielding illegal players. This meant that Mayo were declared champions without the need for a final. Following this, however, Galway defeated Mayo in the Connacht final. Galway were therefore proclaimed All-Ireland champions.McElligott Richard Mayo's 'lost' All-Ireland https://www.mayonews.ie/?option=com_content&view=article&id=19048:mayos-lost-all-ireland Mayo News 10 December 2013 Following protests from Galway, Kerry and Mayo, the GAA Central Council organised a substitute competition between the four provincial champions, with Galway as Connacht champions. However, Kerry complained that their semi-final victory over Cavan should stand in this new competition. When the GAA insisted that it should not stand, Kerry withdrew, leaving Cavan to automatically proceed to the final. Galway defeated Cavan in the final of that tournament, which was played on 10 January 1926.

Galway became the first Connacht county to win an All-Ireland title and first not from Munster or Leinster. References Category:Gaelic football controversies
