Mayo produced a complete performance to comfortably put away a spirited Louth side, 3-23 to 0-15, and book their place in the All-Ireland final against either Dublin or Kerry.
The forward line were on fire, with Ryan O'Donoghue winning a deserved man of the match, while Kobe McDonald rose to the occasion once again with some slick play and points.
At the back, they starved Louth of scores, particularly in the second half, with the Wee County just five points behind at half-time.
At the end of the game, manager Andy Moran cut a delighted figure on RTÉ, praising the young core of the team.
He said: "Our young boys have done exceptionally well, our 18s and 19s.
"I thought young Eoin McGreal in the backline, they've just added so much, and young Cian McHale, you know him Lee (Keegan) from Moy Davitts, he's a talented boy, so hopefully we can keep building."
There was also a very special moment at the end of the interview, when Moran was joined by his two young children, Charlotte and Ollie, who both spoke very well when asked who will win the All-Ireland final.
Louth: Niall McDonnell; Emmett Carolan, Donal McKenny, Daire Nally; Conall McKeever, Dara McDonnell, Craig Lennon; Conor Early, Ciaran Keenan; James Maguire, Sam Mulroy (C), Conor Grimes; Kieran McArdle, Ciaran Downey, Ryan Burns.
Mayo: Jack Livingstone; Jack Coyne (C), Donnacha McHugh, Eoin McGreal; Sam Callinan, David McBrien, Enda Hession; Bob Tuohy, Jack Carney; Stephen Coen, Paul Towey, Jordan Flynn; Darragh Beirne, Ryan O'Donoghue, Kobe McDonald.
