Mayo (a county on Ireland's wild Atlantic west coast) has won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship for the first time since 1951, defeating Kerry by 1-20 to 1-17 in Sunday's final at Croke Park in Dublin. The victory ends one of Irish sport's most storied losing streaks — 11 final defeats since 1989 — and puts to rest a folkloric "curse" said to have been placed on the team after the 1951 champions failed to stop and pay respects at a funeral on their journey home. Captain Jack Coyne lifted the Sam Maguire Cup before tens of thousands of fans, with celebrations drawing messages from former U.S. president Joe Biden, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, and Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, all of whom claim Mayo heritage; the team's homecoming parade in the county town of Castlebar on Monday was expected to draw well beyond the initially estimated 40,000 supporters.
