D. Michael Cusack Cup
The All-Ireland Football Championship is called The Sam after Sam Maguire. Maguire was a native of Cork, but became a major contributor for GAA in London. Following his death in 1927, Maguire’s friends approached the GAA to commemorate his service to the GAA with the Sam Maguire Cup.
The original cup was designed and presented in 1928 for a cost of about $380. The original Sam Maguire Cup was retired in 1988 due to damage over the years and a new replica was built. The original Sam Maguire Cup now resides in Dublin at the GAA Museum at Croke Park.
