1952 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final

The 1952 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 65th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1952 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Mick Higgins was Cavan's captain on the day.

Summary
Cavan equalised with a strange point — Edwin Carolan chased a ball that seemed to go wide, and kicked it across the goalmouth and over the bar. Carolan's equaliser has been described as a "wonder score".

Summary
Mick Higgins's five points won the replay for Cavan, while Peter McDermott (Meath) missed an easy goal chance.
