kildare was the first county to win the "sam maguire cup" in 1928 after defeating cavan 2-6 to 2-5. the original trophy was retired in 1988 as it had received some damage over the years. the gaa commissioned a replica from kilkenny-based silversmith desmond a. byrne and the replica is the trophy that has been used ever since. the original sam maguire cup is permanently on display in the gaa's museum at croke park. in 2010 the gaa asked the same silversmith to produce another replica of the trophy (the third sam maguire cup) although this was to be used only for marketing purposes. meath's joe cassells was the first recipient of "sam óg". meath have the distinction of being the last team to lift the old sam maguire and the first team to lift the new one following their back-to-back victories in 1987 & 1988.
