The 1898 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the eleventh All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1898 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Dublin, who led 1–6 to 0–3 at the interval, were the winners, with Joe Ledwidge scoring both goals.[1] The captain of the winning team was Matt Rea.[citation needed]

At this time, club teams represented their counties with the Geraldines club representing Dublin and Waterford represented by the Erin's Hope club of Dungarvan.[citation needed]

It was the fifth of six All-Ireland football titles won by Dublin in the 1890s.[2]
