On 28 September 1975, Kerry won the championship following a 2-12 to 0-11 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final.

Kerry's John O'Keeffe was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.

London played in the Connacht Senior Football Championship for the first time.

As a result of a decision taken at the Gaelic Athletic Association's (GAA) annual congress the previous year, as of 1975 all provincial finals, All-Ireland semi-finals and the All-Ireland final itself were reduced to 70 minutes playing time.

Prior to this all championship matches were eighty minutes in duration for the past 5 years.
