'Worth Waiting for': Mayo Fans React to All-Ireland Win
Mayo’s young stars and a goal from Darragh Beirne sealed the title as fans said the long-running curse had finally ended.
- On Sunday, July 26, 2026, County Mayo ended a 75-year title drought by defeating Kerry 1-20 to 1-17 at Croke Park, securing the Sam Maguire Cup in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship.
- Long-Standing lore claimed a 1951 curse prevented victories until all team members died; last surviving member Paddy Prendergast died in 2021, potentially lifting the supposed curse.
- Former US President Joe Biden congratulated the team, saying the victory means much to his family's story, while fan Rachel Neeson called it a "dream come true."
- Captain Jack Coyne told fans to "Stick your chest out and be proud to be from Mayo" during his victory speech, as thousands celebrated jubilantly at Croke Park.
- Observers credit the team's youthful roster for the turnaround, ending a cycle of 11 final losses since 1989 that made County Mayo All-Ireland champions once again.
