Mayo won their second All-Ireland in a row.

The Curse of 51

Mayo have not won an All-Ireland football final since 1951. Legend has it that a priest became incensed when the Mayo team bus returning home from the 1951 final passed by a funeral without showing due respect as they celebrated their All-Ireland win. The priest supposedly put a curse on Mayo, that they would not win another title until all of the team had died. Since the death of Peter Quinn in 2016, only two members of the 1951 team are still living.
