Authentic 1998/99 Mayo GAA Jersey by O’Neills

Acquire a true masterpiece of 1990s Irish sporting heritage with this original 1998 mayo gaa jersey manufactured in Ireland by O’Neills. Fielded across the 1998 and 1999 Connacht and All-Ireland Senior Football Championships, this release is widely regarded by kit collectors and GAA purists nationwide as one of the greatest GAA shirt designs ever produced.

Yew County Heritage & The Stauntons Intersport Era

This 1998 mayo gaa jersey captures the bold, expressive garment styling that defined late-1990s O’Neills manufacturing. Built on a rich green knit body, the shirt’s most striking visual element is the sweeping bright red sleeve and shoulder paneling, framed by crisp white accent piping and classic white O’Neills three-stripe detailing.

The chest features a high-density embroidered Mayo county crest over the heart—highlighting the four trees of the four baronies, the castle, and the county motto—paired with the classic embroidered O’Neills script logo on the right. Dominating the front torso is the legendary Stauntons Intersport sponsor logo, a iconic local partnership that remains deeply nostalgic for Western football supporters. Following Mayo’s thrilling back-to-back All-Ireland final appearances in 1996 and 1997, this late-90s jersey was worn during fiercely contested Connacht Championship battles at MacHale Park in Castlebar and Croke Park. It was brought to life on the pitch by legendary Mayo figures including maverick playmaker Ciarán McDonald, James Nallen, David Brady, Kenneth Mortimer, Liam McHale, Fergal Costello, James Horan, Pat Holmes, and David Heaney. Crafted from durable, heavyweight vintage performance polyester with a classic white placket collar, original Stauntons Intersport tops in well-preserved condition are exceptionally scarce, making this Medium size an elite centerpiece for any serious 32-county retro collection.
