The Dublin county football team represents Dublin in men's Gaelic football and is governed by Dublin GAA, a county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. It competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions: the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Leinster Senior Football Championship and National Football League.
The team's history is defined by three golden eras. They dominated the All-Ireland SFC's early years, winning eleven titles between 1891 and 1908. The mid-1970s to early 1980s was another successful period, with Kevin Heffernan and Tony Hanahoe overseeing four more championships. Jim Gavin’s tenure (2012–2019) produced six All-Ireland titles, including five-in-a-row from 2015 to 2019. He is Dublin's most successful manager and widely regarded as one of the sport's greatest-ever managers. Gavin left after 2019, but Dublin extended the streak to a record sixth consecutive title in 2020—the longest such run in either Gaelic football or hurling.
Dublin is the second most-successful team in the All-Ireland SFC, with their 31 titles trailing Kerry's 38. The sides are considered Gaelic football's "big two", and their long-standing rivalry is one of the sport's most renowned. They also have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Meath, one of their geographic neighbors in Leinster. Dublin and Meath rank first and second in Leinster Senior Championships won, respectively.
Although Dublin's official home ground is Parnell Park in Donnycarney, home games are generally played at Croke Park. The team's manager is Ger Brennan. The team last won the Leinster Senior Championship in 2024, the All-Ireland Senior Championship in 2023 and the National League in 2021.
