G.A.A: All Ireland Hurling Final Programme, Cork V Galway, 1986. (Offaly’s second All Ireland victory)

Clár Oifigiúil. Baile Átha Cliath: Cumann Lúthchleas Gael, 1986. Original pictorial wrappers, cover price “£1” printed. Cork won the championship, beating Galway 4–13 to 2–15

Official GAA programme for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final at Croke Park, illustrated throughout and featuring action photography to upper cover. A colourful and evocative example of late twentieth-century GAA design, capturing the speed and physicality of championship hurling at its height.

Programmes from this period, particularly those with strong county interest or historic matches, are increasingly collected as Irish sporting ephemera. Survival in clean condition is uncommon, many having been read heavily on match day. A desirable piece of modern GAA memorabilia and Irish sporting history.
