The 1892 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the fifth All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1892 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
At this time, the club champions of each county represented their county in the All-Ireland championships. Dublin were represented by the Young Irelanders club while Kerry were represented by Laune Rangers.
The sides were level 0–3 apiece at half-time.
Dublin won, scoring the all-important goal with ten minutes to go.
It was the second of six All-Ireland SFC titles won by Dublin in the 1890s. [1]
It was the first meeting of Dublin and Kerry. The rivalry between the sides would grow into something massive in the years and decades ahead. [2]
      Dublin |  Kerry |
With their 1940 win, Kerry would reach 14 All-Ireland SFC titles, drawing level with Dublin. [3] Dublin had been in the lead since 1892. In 1941, Kerry would take the lead; Dublin equalled the new total in 1942, but never again managed to surpass Kerry's total. [3]
The first meeting in the 1892 All-Ireland final was at a time when the GAA was still in a state of flux – over the number of players on a team, the value of a goal (which when worth more than any number of points led to teams cramming their goalmouth; so if anyone says Donegal brought defence to a new extreme . . . )and the effects of the Parnell split were still vivid.
