Restructuring
The GAA conducted a review of the structure of the Dublin GAA organisation in 2002 because of the huge population inequities and investigated the feasibility of dividing the County into more population-appropriate structures. Plans to divide Dublin into two teams – ''North Dublin'' and ''South Dublin'' – were proposed in 2002 but rejected by the Dublin County Board. Currently, the Board has only decided to divide its development teams. These teams are not considered to be a move towards dividing the county but are in fact a move designed to identify and develop young talent for the County as a whole. The restructured developments teams are North, South and West.

The Dublin team of the 1970s won four All-Ireland SFCs (1974, 1976, 1977 and 1983) and won seven Leinster Senior Football Championship (SFC) titles (six of which were consecutive). It was also the first team to play in six consecutive All-Ireland SFC finals (from 1974 to 1979), a feat later matched by Kerry in 2009.
Dublin and
Meath were involved in one of the most famous of Leinster championship encounters in 1991, the Dublin and Meath four-parter. The teams had to go to three replays in their Leinster SFC first-round match before a winner could be found.
