The 2015 FAI Cup Final was the final match of the 2015 FAI Cup, the national association football cup of the Republic of Ireland. The match took place on 8 November 2015 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and was contested between Cork City and Dundalk.[2][3][4] Dundalk were looking to achieve the Double, having already won the league title. [5]
The match was broadcast live on RTÉ Two and RTÉ Two HD in Ireland, and via the RTÉ Player worldwide.[6]
The match finished scoreless in normal time, but a goal from Richie Towell in extra-time, from a Daryl Horgan pass,[7] was enough to win the Cup for Dundalk for a tenth time.[8][9] With the win, Dundalk claimed their third league and cup double.[10][11]
