Provenance:

The 1890 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was a Gaelic football match played at Clonturk
Park on 26 June 1892 to determine the winners of the 1890 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the
4th season of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, a tournament organised by the Gaelic Athletic
Association for the champions of the four provinces of Ireland. The final was contested by Cork of Munster
who were represented by Midleton and Wexford of Leinster who were represented by Blacks and Whites,
with Cork winning by 2-4 to 0-1.The All-Ireland final had originally been fixed for 17 November 1890, how-
ever, the surprise arrival of Ulster champions Armagh necessitated a semi-final which Cork won. The final
was then postponed for nineteen months, only being arranged on the Monday before the refixed date.
