Late in the game, players brawled on the field and were joined by a spectator, who received a black eye. New York captain Tom Hennessy scored a late point to seal victory.

1967: Three-in-a-row All-Ireland SFC winner Galway was defeated in the final.

Despite sustaining the loss of two players to sendings off early in the second half, New York gave The Tribesmen a scare, though the team eventually lost by a scoreline of 2–13 to 0–12. In addition, in 2010, New York took part in the Connacht Minor Football Championship (MFC) for the first time. The team played Galway in its first game in that competition but sustained a heavy defeat. The New York minor football team travelled to Ireland to play in the Connacht MFC again the following year.
