All-Ireland Senior Football Championship 2003
The 2003 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was won by Tyrone in a landmark final that was the first All-Ireland final that was contested by two teams from the same province, Tyrone, and Armagh - both from Ulster. It was also a year that marked a peak in Ulster dominance on the All-Ireland stage, with three teams (the finalists and Donegal) reaching the semi finals.
The top scorer of the year, by a big margin, was Tyrone's Peter Canavan, with a personal tally of 1-48 (51 points).
Armagh's Stephen McDonnell was named Player of the Year for his accuracy in getting goals, and a final tally of 5-23.
