The championship began on 5 May 1985 and ended on 22 September 1985. Kerry entered the championship as the defending champions. Notably, the All-Ireland final was postponed specifically because both semi-finals were drawn and required replays. On 22 September 1985, Kerry won the championship following a 2–12 to 2–8 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final.http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/this-team-are-no-different-to-us-they-wear-the-dublin-jersey-with-huge-pride-31536714.html 'This team are no different to us...
