Sam Maguire: Police investigate possible fraud over fake trophy

Armagh GAA, whose gaelic footballers won the Sam Maguire trophy in July, issued a warning on Tuesday that an unauthorised replica was being hired for “substantial amounts of money”.

“Armagh GAA have clearly established guidelines and methods for requesting the use/appearance of the Sam Maguire and will never charge for this.”

St Francis Hospice said it “had no knowledge whatsoever that money was being raised for us in this regard”.

The hospice said it was “conducting an investigation into this serious matter”.

The GAA’s director of communications, Alan Milton, told the BBC that counterfeit All-Ireland Football Championship trophies had been used in a similar way on previous occasions in Dublin and Tyrone.

“A fake Sam Maguire Cup emerged after one of Dublin’s All-Ireland Final wins a number of years ago and it had to be taken out of circulation and destroyed and there was a similar situation in Tyrone on one occasion.”
