Cork's Conor Lane will take charge of Sunday week's All-Ireland SFC final between Dublin and Tyrone.

It will be the Banteer/Lyre clubman's second Sam Maguire Cup decider, having previously handled the 2016 final between Dublin and Mayo. His other big assignments include the 2013 All-Ireland MFC final between Mayo and Tyrone, the 2013 and '16 Connacht SFC finals, the 2016 All-Ireland club SFC final and the Allianz League Division 2 and 3 deciders in 2013 and 2012 respectively.

In this year's championship, Lane has refereed the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals between Galway and Monaghan and Dublin and Donegal, the Connacht SFC quarter-final between Galway and Mayo, the Fermanagh v Monaghan Ulster SFC semi-final and the Carlow v Tyrone and Fermanagh v Kildare All-Ireland qualifiers.

His umpires will be John Joe Lane, DJ O'Sullivan (both Banteer/Lyre), Ray Hegarty (Bride Rovers) and Pat Kelly (Kilshannig).

Meath's David Gough, who had been tipped by many to referee the final, will be the standby referee. The other linesman is Paddy Neilan (Roscommon) and the sideline official will be Sean Laverty (Antrim).

Meanwhile, Tyrone's Sean Hurson will officiate the All-Ireland MFC final between Kerry and Galway.

The Galbally Pearses' clubman's umpires will be Martin Coney, Cathal Forbes (both O'Donovan Rossa), Mel Taggart (Clonoe O'Rahillys) and Martin Conway (Moortown St. Malachys).

Tipperary's Derek O'Mahoney will be the standby referee, the other linesman is James Bermingham (Cork) and the sideline official will be Eamon O'Grady (Leitrim).
