The 1976 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 89th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1976 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
This was one of six All-Ireland SFC finals contested by both Dublin and Kerry between 1974 and 1986, a period when one of either team always contested the decider.
This year's final was played on 26 September.
Dublin won the second of the famous KerryâÂÂDublin 1970s duels with a seven-point win, goals coming from John McCarthy, Jimmy Keaveney, and Brian Mullins. It was Dublin's first championship win over Kerry since 1934.
Dublin manager Kevin Heffernan declared: "I've waited 21 years for this".
Kerry blamed a cancelled training session. The players asked for this because of "fatigue" though they also wished to take up a Beamish and Crawford invitation to the Tralee Races.
