The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the inter-county Gaelic football tournament played between 31 counties of Ireland, London and New York. The draw for the 2009 championship took place on 9 October 2008.[1] The tournament began on 10 May 2009.
The 2009 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final took place on 20 September 2009, contested by Cork and Kerry.
