The '''1970 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship''' was the 84th staging of the [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]], the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]]'s premier [[inter county|inter-county]] [[Gaelic football]] tournament. The championship began on 10 May 1970 and ended on 27 September 1970.

[[Kerry GAA|Kerry]] entered the championship as the [[1969 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship|defending champions]].

On 27 September 1970, Kerry won the championship following a 2-19 to 0-18 defeat of [[Meath GAA|Meath]] in the All-Ireland final.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://meath.gaa.ie/history/glory-days/|title=Glory days|publisher=Meath GAA website|access-date=28 October 2015|archive-date=1 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151201062514/http://meath.gaa.ie/history/glory-days/|url-status=dead}}</ref> This was their 22nd All-Ireland title, their second in succession.

Meath's [[Tony Brennan (Gaelic footballer)|Tony Brennan]] was the championship's top scorer with 0-33. Kerry's [[Tom Prendergast (Kerry footballer)|Tom Prendergast]] was the choice for [[Texaco Footballer of the Year]].

==Rule change==

As a result of a decision taken at the [[Gaelic Athletic Association]]'s (GAA) annual congress the previous year, as of 1970 all provincial finals, All-Ireland semi-finals and the All-Ireland final itself were extended to 80 minutes playing time. Prior to this all championship matches were sixty minutes in duration. Lasted until 1974.

==Leinster Championship format change==


The Second Round dropped from the Leinster football championship this year.
The '''1970 [[All-Ireland Senior Football Championship]]''' was played from May to September, 1970. The final was contested between [[Kerry GAA|Kerry]] and [[Meath GAA|Meath]]. Kerry won the decider by a scoreline of 2-19 to 0-18.

The 1970 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 84th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 10 May 1970 and ended on 27 September 1970.

Kerry entered the championship as the defending champions.

On 27 September 1970, Kerry won the championship following a 2-19 to 0-18 defeat of Meath in the All-Ireland final.[1] This was their 22nd All-Ireland title, their second in succession.

Meath's Tony Brennan was the championship's top scorer with 0-33. Kerry's Tom Prendergast was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.

Rule change

[edit]

As a result of a decision taken at the Gaelic Athletic Association's (GAA) annual congress the previous year, as of 1970 all provincial finals, All-Ireland semi-finals and the All-Ireland final itself were extended to 80 minutes playing time. Prior to this all championship matches were sixty minutes in duration. Lasted until 1974.

Leinster Championship format change

[edit]

The Second Round dropped from the Leinster football championship this year.
