The 2015 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final featured Cork and Dublin. Cork defeated Dublin by two points in what an RTÉ Sport report described as "largely a defensive affair" and a "tight encounter". For the Dublin manager, Gregory McGonigle, it was his fourth defeat to Cork in an All-Ireland final. The two sides were level at half-time with 0–5 each.[1][2]
