The 2016 All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship Final featured Cork and Dublin. Cork emerged as winners after a controversial 1–7 to 1–6 win over Dublin. In the 22nd minute Dublin's Carla Rowe had a point disallowed. The umpires waved the effort wide but TV replays showed that Rowe's shot had actually gone between the posts. As Hawk-Eye was not used in the All-Ireland Senior Ladies' Football Championship, the decision stood. At half-time Dublin were leading by 0–4 to 0–3. As the second half started Rhona Ní Bhuachalla came on as a substitute and scored with an assist from Ciara O'Sullivan. The teams were level at 1–3 to 0–6 with twenty minutes remaining before Cork scored four unanswered points between the 48th and 54th minutes. Doireann O'Sullivan scored three while Orla Finn was also on target. Dublin were four points down in the final minute when Sinéad Aherne scored from a penalty.
