Kildare's Brendan Cawley has been appointed as the referee for the 2025 All-Ireland SFC decider between Kerry and Donegal.
It's a first All-Ireland inter-county final for the Sarsfields' clubman, who previously oversaw the 2024 All-Ireland club final between Glen and St Brigid's and the 2023 Division 1 league final between Mayo and Galway.
The Kildare official has had several big assignments already in 2025, and was notably the man in the middle for the Ulster final between Armagh and Donegal and the Armagh-Kerry All-Ireland quarter-final over a fortnight ago.
In recent years, he has refereed All-Ireland semi-finals in 2022 and 2024, in which Galway overcame Derry and Donegal respectively.
His line umpires on the day are Monaghan's Martin McNally and the experienced Meath referee David Coldrick, with McNally named as stand-in referee.
