Armagh GAA has issued a warning about a counterfeit Sam Maguire trophy being circulated in County Armagh, as scammers are charging substantial amounts for its appearance at various venues. Following their All-Ireland victory over Galway in July after a 22-year wait, the demand for the trophy has surged, leading to exploitation by fraudsters. The county board emphasized that they have established guidelines for the trophy's use and will never charge for appearances. Reports indicate that the fake trophy is being taken to pubs, event venues, and schools, prompting concerns about the authenticity of paid photo opportunities. Similar scams have occurred in the past, leading GAA officials to stress the importance of protecting the trophy's integrity. Armagh PRO Finbar Burns condemned the perpetrators, urging vigilance among supporters.
