Sean Hurson from Tyrone will be the referee for the 2024 GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship Final on July 28th, between Armagh and Galway. This will be the second time the Tyrone native will be in charge of the Croke Park finale.
Hurson also refereed the All-Ireland Minor Final in 2018, the U20 All-Ireland Final in 2021, the All-Ireland Senior Club Final in 2022, and the All-Ireland Football Final in 2022 between Kerry and Galway.
No stranger to Championship action, Hurson donned the whistle for the Roscommon vs. Mayo tie in the Connacht Championship, two group games between Kerry vs. Monaghan and Armagh vs. Galway, and the All-Ireland quarter-final involving Dublin and Galway.
The final will be Sean’s 34th Senior Football Championship fixture since his first in 2016.
Congrats & best wishes to Seán Hurson, @TyroneGAALive, who will referee the @Armagh_GAA v @Galway_GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Final next Sunday🏆
