    Will tomorrows Football Final have the Highest RTE Sports viewership this year ?

    Keeping in mind that the top six clubs in the English Premiership plus the current champions will have already completed their weekend fixtures by throw in time in Croke Park tomorrow!

    Probably not - Ireland France in the Euros got circa 1.3M, and the All Ireland Football Final is usually around one million.

    You assume that the bolded part would have some affect. The viewing figures in Ireland per household for EPL is minuscule. Not everyone subscribes to Sports Channels.

    Comparatively the viewing figures for a GAA final are 880k+ due to their free to air nature as well as passing interest.

    Not a hope in hell. Are you forgetting that Ireland played n the Euros this year? It's the most popular sport in the country. GAA is the third-most popular behind rugby.

    The only TV show that can beat Ireland at football tournaments is the Late Late Christmas Toy Show.

    Considering the Gaelic Football and hurling and the 2 best attended sports in this country I think you are a bit off with that assumption.

    The rugby and soccer matches get good viewership because it's the national team and therefore there is less neutral viewership within the country and therefore attract the fans with passing interest , that doesn't apply for the All Irelands which have much more neutral viewership.This can be seen by matches involving Dublin invariably having bigger TV viewership than matches which don't involve them.

    medialive.ie your source for all of this.

    Ad-rates etc. available on the website too is always an interesting read.

    To be honest, viewer numbers are important but the more important figure is the share you have of viewers.

    Just the 810 000 viewers for the final (I'd imagine it peaked at about 1 million or so). 24.1% audience share. Surely would be considered weak numbers.

    Just 810k !

    Weak numbers in comparison to what.

    Tell me what had a higher viewership at that time.

    Regarding Rugby is bigger than GAA assertion. The answer is only in a national jersey. Otherwise Leinster games etc would be clearing up which they most certainly are not.

    They are weak, compared to the last time Dublin and Mayo met in an All Ireland final. The 2013 final had 1,064,200 viewers. But last years AI football finals drew 881,000 viewers, so they aren't a lot weaker compared to that. It's all relative, I suppose.

    With hindsight it would have been a higher number, most neutrals thought Mayo couldn't make a game of it.
