The average margin of victory across the four provincial football finals was one of the highest ever, despite the Ulster final going all the way to penalties.
With the Leinster, Munster and Connacht finals decided by a combined total of 49 points, the average margin of victory still came in at 12.25 across the four games.
In the ‘back door’ era, since 2001, that’s a figure that was only exceeded once, in 2018, when it stood at 12.75, with Galway’s four-point win over Roscommon in the Connacht final that year the only one of the four where the margin of victory was less than 10 points.
