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.

[1] 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.

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

[2] Meath = Cavan never appeared in an All-Ireland SFC final again.
