The 1982 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 96th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 9 May 1982 and ended on 19 September 1982.
It was the last year to date that a Kilkenny team played in the Leinster championship.
Kerry were the defending champions and were hoping to win a record-breaking fifth successive championship title.
Kerry qualified for the final. On 19 September 1982, Offaly won the championship following a 1-15 to 0-17 defeat of Kerry in one of the most dramatic and iconic All-Ireland finals in the history of the championship.[1] [2] [3] [4] This was their third All-Ireland title, their first in ten championship seasons. It remains their last All-Ireland SFC victory.
Offaly's Matt Connor was the championship's top scorer with 0-34. Offaly's Martin Furlong was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.
