1985 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship
The 1985 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 99th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 5 May 1985 and ended on 22 September 1985.
Kerry entered the championship as the defending champions. Notably, the All-Ireland final was postponed specifically because both semi-finals were drawn and required replays.
On 22 September 1985, Kerry won the championship following a 2-12 to 2-8 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final. This was their 29th All-Ireland title and their second championship in succession.
Dublin's Barney Rock was the championship's top scorer with 3-28. Kerry's Jack O'Shea was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.Results
