The Armagh-Galway Gaelic football rivalry refers to the rivalry between Armagh and Galway in Gaelic football.

Whilst championship games between the two sides have been rare until recently, they have been noted for their high drama and intense gameplay.

Galway is considered a dual county, with a prestigious history in both football and hurling, whilst football dominates in Armagh.

Galway are the most successful county in Connacht in terms of both provincial and All-Ireland titles won, whilst Armagh are the fourth-ranked team in Ulster in respect of both criteria.

Championship meetings

The two sides first met in the All-Ireland Championship in 2001 in round three of the qualifiers. Since then, they have met on six further occasions, most recently in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final.
