Paths to the final
The counties have tread similar paths to the final.
Meath, in Group 3, opened their account with a draw against Armagh before earning a three-point win away to Kildare. For Dublin, in Group 4, their championship started with a draw away to Waterford before an 8-18 to 0-7 thumping of Leitrim.
In the quarter-finals, Meath made light work of Tipperary, seeing off the Premier County 2-17 to 1-6, while the Dubs had a similarly emphatic day out against Cork, ending 3-15 to 0-7.
Meath pulled off a mighty feat in the semi-finals, dumping reigning champs Kerry out on a 2-11 to 1-9 scoreline at O’Connor Park, where Dublin later saw off Galway after extra-time, late goals from captain Carla Rowe and Kate Sullivan proving decisive.
Recent head-to-head
The counties’ most recent meeting came in the fifth round of the Division 1 NFL at the start of March, when Dublin took a 2-19 to 0-9 win at Parnell Park.
There was no championship meeting between the sides in 2024, but when they met at Páirc Tailteann in last year’s league, it was the Royals who came away with a 2-5 to 0-7 win.

Last titles
Meath’s most recent All-Ireland title came in 2022, a year after their breakthrough victory in 2021 which saw them deny Dublin the five-in-a-row.
After Meath fell to Kerry at the quarter-final stage in 2023, Dublin swooped, beating the Kingdom 0-18 to 1-10 in the decider to claim their most recent title.
