Sean Hurson is a Gaelic football referee from the Galbally Pearses club in County Tyrone. He began refereeing in 2008 and has taken charge of club, provincial and national finals, among them the Tyrone Senior Football Championship finals of 2014, 2016 and 2018, the Ulster Club finals of 2016 and 2019 and the 2021-22 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final between Kilcoo and Kilmacud Crokes. At inter-county level he refereed the 2022 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final between Galway and Kerry, becoming the first Tyrone man to referee the decider since Paddy Devlin in 1974, and he was later appointed to referee the 2024 final. For the coin toss he uses a one pound coin engraved with his initials, given to him by his former umpire Dermot McCaffrey shortly before McCaffrey died in 2019.
