The county football team was the second from the province of Connacht to win an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (SFC), following Galway, but the first to appear in the final. Mayo play in the Connacht Senior Football Championship. The team has won three All-Ireland Senior Football Championships; 1936, 1950, 1951 and has acquired a long-term record for reaching eleven All-Ireland SFC finals only to fall at the ultimate hurdle in 1989, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2006, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021. Mayo has won the greatest number of National Football League titles consecutively (six, from 1934 to 1939). Mayo was the longest serving team in Division 1 of the National Football League when relegated in 2020, having played there since 1997. In 2021, Mayo gained promotion, at the first attempt, back to Division 1 of the National League.

Who Was Winning Matches?
The build-up to the 2012 GAA Football Championship raised many familiar questions and a few new ones. Could Champions Dublin win back-to-back titles? Would Kerry seek to revenge the loss of last year’s final? Could many pundits’ favourites, Cork, regain the form that won them the title in 2010? Will the efforts of Kieran McGeeney and Kildare finally yield some success? Who would prevail in Ulster where even retaining a provincial title is so elusive? Could Donegal succeed where others had failed or would Tyrone re-emerge? And over in the west could James Horan take Mayo one step further than last year’s Connacht title and an All-Ireland semi-final spot?

Without giving the storyline away the one similarity between 2011 and 2012 was that, for the second year in a row, no teams came through the back door to the later stages as it was the 4 Provincial Champions who made it to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals. But that’s where the storyline changed. Both of the beaten semi-finalists in 2011, Donegal and Mayo, qualified for the 2012 semi-finals and this time both were winners on merit. A year of surprises culminated not just in a unique final pairing but a final that was unprecedented in terms of ticket demand and media interest. Would it be Jim McGuinness and Donegal, the form team of the year, winning a second title for the county? Or could James Horan lead Mayo to taste All Ireland glory?
