The "Battle of Omagh"[2][3][4] was a Gaelic football match of Ireland's National Football League, played at Healy Park in Omagh, on Sunday, 5 February 2006 between Dublin and the 2005 All-Ireland SFC champions Tyrone. The final score, of 1–09 to 1–06, was in favour of Dublin.
The highlights of the match included the sendings-off of Dublin's Alan Brogan and Tyrone's Colin Holmes and, subsequently, Dublin's Denis Bastick and Tyrone's Stephen O'Neill after both received second yellow cards. O'Neill had just won the All Stars Footballer of the Year award, presented annually to the footballer who performed outstandingly in that year's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. Referee Paddy Russell also issued fourteen yellow cards (eight of which were given to Dublin players and six of which were given to Tyrone players), in a game that featured several mass brawls, the first with as many as eighteen players happening in the fourth minute. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) charged players (including Alan Brogan, Bryan Cullen and Ciarán Whelan) for their actions during the game, while others (including Peadar Andrews) received warnings. However, they all appealed and did not have to serve any suspensions. Only Holmes was suspended, because the referee had issued him with a straight red card.
The name "Battle of Omagh" was later applied to the same fixture in 2020.
