1 The final was scratched, with Louth awarded the championship after Kerry refused to travel to Dublin. This was because the Great Southern and Western Railway company would not sell tickets to their supporters at reduced rates.{{cite news|title=The forgotten Kerry strike that gave Louth an All-Ireland|work=Irish Examiner|date=16 June 2023}}
