Summary

For a second consecutive year, the final pitted the Leinster champions Louth against Kerry, the champions of Munster. Louth, captained by Larry McCormack [1] of Drogheda, was seeking its first All-Ireland SFC title, while Kerry aimed to repeat the success of 1909 and secure a fourth title overall.

However, the eagerly anticipated contest did not take place, as Louth received a walkover due to Kerry's refusal to play, after the Great Southern and Western Railway declined to sell tickets to their supporters at reduced rates. [2] [3]
