Kerry will take on Dublin today in the 2023 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final. 

Throw-in is at 3.30pm at Croke Park.

Defending champion Kerry will aim to retain its title and have its first two-year winning streak since 2007.

The Kingdom defeated Derry in the semi-finals last week in a 1-17 to 1-15 victory. 

One Kerry woman told Newstalk there is a “wonderful excitement” throughout the county and “the build-up has just been amazing”. 

Dublin head to the All-Ireland final following a 1-17 to 0-13 victory in the semi-final against Monaghan. 

Former Dublin player and manager Paul Caffrey said there is a lot at stake for both teams today. 

“[There’s] a history attached to this [match] in particular,” he said. 

“Jack O'Connor is looking to get back-to-back All-Irelands with Kerry, something he hasn't done before.

"Then the teasing prospect of Stephen Cluxton, James McCarthy and Michael Fitzsimons winning their 9th All-Ireland.” 

Mr Caffrey also said Kerry is “confident” this weekend, saying “they possibly have one of the greatest footballers ever to play the game in David Clifford”. 

Kerry and Dublin have met in 14 previous All-Ireland finals, with Kerry winning eight of these and Dublin six. 

Irish Rail has warned that demand across its services is expected to be extremely high due to the final, urging passengers to travel as early as possible. 

It also introduced additional rail services across the weekend as the All-Ireland final coincides with the Bray Air Display.
