A huge slice of history at the Cake Tin, as an Ireland performance for the ages sealed the country's first series win in New Zealand.
The joyous scenes at full-time will never be forgotten as a truly remarkable display of skill, guts and determination stunned the All Blacks in their own back-yard.
Chants of 'Ole, Ole, Ole' rang around the Sky Stadium at the sound of the full-time whistle, as the Ireland supporters lucky enough to be in Wellington kick started a party that will go on long into the night.
The All Blacks were completely outwitted by Ireland's sparkling attack, and the hosts were kept at bay by their tenacious defence even after they had threatened to complete what would have been a typical comeback.
In actuality, an All Blacks victory would have been a disgrace because Ireland was considerably more proficient and ultimately superior to them than they were, but for a strong second-half performance.
The consequences of this loss could be severe for current head coach Ian Foster, whose position is precariously precarious.
That however, is none of Ireland's concern, as arguably the greatest day in their history arrived in the most difficult of away countries.
Earlier this week, Farrell spoke of his hope that his Ireland team had saved their best performance for last, and they delivered in spades.
Outstanding performances were found around the field, with Tadhg Beirne and Josh van der Flier leading the charge up front and Johnny Sexton managing the game as usual.
With scores from Van der Flier, Hugo Keenan, Robbie Henshaw, and Rob Herring, Ireland defeated the All Blacks with a score of four to three.
