The 2020 Munster Senior Football Championship was the 2020 installment of the annual Munster Senior Football Championship organised by the Munster GAA.[1] The fixtures were announced on RTÉ Radio on 8 October 2019.[2] Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games, all GAA activity was suspended until late in the year.
On 22 November 2020, Tipperary won the title after a 0-17 to 0-14 win against Cork in the final. It was Tipperary's first Munster title in 85 years.[3] [4] [5] [6]
To mark the centenary of Bloody Sunday, Tipperary wore special commemorative jerseys in white and green in the final, a replica of the colours worn by the Tipperary team which played Dublin in Croke Park in 1920.[7] [8]
The Munster championship is contested by all six counties in the Irish province of Munster.
