The Mayo GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) team is believed to be under a curse that has prevented them from winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship since their last victory in 1951. According to the legend, after their 1951 win, the team was passing through the village of Foxford while celebrating, and they failed to show proper respect by not stopping for a funeral procession. An offended priest or an elderly woman is said to have cursed the team, proclaiming that Mayo would not win another championship until all members of that 1951 team had passed away.
Mayo have lost 12 finals since.
The last remaining member of the 1951 team passed away last year. So the next final will be very interesting if they ever make it there again :P
Please join Team Ireland.
