The 1989 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 102nd All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1989 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.
Anthony Finnerty's 38th minute goal gave Mayo a brief lead, but they did not score for the last nineteen minutes and Cork won by three.[1]
This was Mayo's first appearance in an All-Ireland football final since they won the All-Ireland football title in 1951.[2]
