The 2002 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 116th edition of the championship since its establishment in 1887 and was played from May to September 2002. The final was contested between Armagh and Kerry in a repeat of the 1953 All-Ireland Football Final, which was Armagh's first appearance in a final. Unlike 1953, however, a spirited performance from the Orchard county was enough to secure the county's very first All-Ireland title.
