The 2021 FAI Cup Final, known as the 2021 Extra.ie FAI Cup Final for sponsorship reasons, was the final match of the 2021 FAI Cup, the national association football cup of the Republic of Ireland. The match took place on Sunday 28 November at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and was contested by St Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians.[3] [4] [5] St Patrick's Athletic captained by Ian Bermingham won the game 4–3 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in which both Chris Forrester and Rory Feely scored against their former clubs.[6]
