# List of All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final goalscorers

The following is a list of goalscorers in All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finals. See List of FIFA World Cup final goalscorers a similar list but in soccer not Gaelic football
Scoring in Gaelic games: Most scores are points but there are goals too.
The last final to finish goalless was in 2022.
The first ever goal in a final was scored by William Spain twelve minutes from the end of the 1887 final. Billy Mackessy scored the first hat-trick in the 1911 final. Dean Rock holds the record for the fastest goal scored in the history of All-Ireland SFC finals, after sending the ball past David Clarke directly from the throw-in of the 2020 final, breaking Kerryman Garry McMahon's record which had stood since the 1962 final.
