The 1910 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 23rd All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1910 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
For a second consecutive year, the final pitted the Leinster champions Louth against Kerry, the champions of Munster. Louth, captained by Larry McCormack[1] of Drogheda, was seeking its first All-Ireland title, while Kerry aimed to repeat their 1909 success and secure a fourth title overall.
However, the eagerly anticipated contest did not take place, as Louth received a walkover due to Kerry's refusal to play, after the Great Southern and Western Railway declined to sell tickets to their supporters at reduced rates.[2][3]
