The GAA is set to prohibit the practice of joint-captains accepting cups together in official presentations after finals. Central Council has approved an amendment to an existing rule governing such presentations by adding that "joint captains are not permitted". Rule 4.15 (a) states that it "shall be the privilege of the captain of a winning team to accept the trophy on behalf of the team". The Sam Maguire Cup has also been lifted by two players in recent years including Kerry’s Kieran O'Leary and Fionn Fitzgerald in 2014. Both O'Sullivan and Cooper lifted 'Sam' together, however.
