The 1928 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 11th staging of the championship since its establishment by the GAA in 1912.

Contents

As the Ulster GAA council did not hold a provincial championship, the fourth semi-final spot was therefore taken by London, as champions of Britain.

The title match at Croke Park on 2 December 1928 ended in a one-point victory for Kerry over the Leinster champions Louth, on a scoreline of 2–08 to 2–03.

This was the Kingdom's fourth All-Ireland Junior football title.
