Today's All-Ireland ladies football finals have attracted the biggest attendance of any women's sporting event in Europe this year.

The 31,083 attendance at Croke Park beat the 30,710 crowd which watched the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley. However, the figure failed to surpass the record 33,000 that attended the 2001 All-Ireland finals.
