Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating was a guest of Taoiseach Albert Reynolds at the match. A crowd control gate at the Canal End had to be opened during the match to allow 120 people, mainly women and children, onto the sideline. It was the last All-Ireland final to be played before the complete renovation of Croke Park.
