Brian Crowe

Brian Crowe (born 1957/1958) is a Gaelic football All-Ireland Final referee. He is a member of the Cavan Gaels club.

Crowe played midfield and centre-forward for Cavan Gaels before retiring at the start of his twenties so that he could take up refereeing.

He refereed the 2006 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final between Kerry and Mayo. He was the second Cavanman to referee an All-Ireland final, following Fintan Tierney of Butlersbridge (who did the 1972 final) and the last until Joe McQuillan's first final in 2011. In the 2008 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship he became involved in a dispute with the CCC, but officials said he was not being punished for refusing to co-operate.

Part of the Defence Forces, he is a married father of three daughters and a son. He is interested in snooker and athletics and plays badminton.
