Cavan–Meath Gaelic football rivalry

It was considered to be one of the most keenly contested rivalries in Gaelic games.

[1][2] Cavan's home ground is Kingspan Breffni Park and Meath's home ground is Páirc Tailteann.

However, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Cavan have the highest number of Ulster titles and Meath are second only to Dublin in Leinster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 12 championship titles between them to date.

However, it is widely recognised that Cavan were overall a much better football team over the ages and Meath won their all Ireland through thuggery.
