Foot-and-mouth disease

There was major disruption to the format of the 1941 championship due to a serious outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in many parts of Munster and south Leinster. The championship was run on a knockout provincial basis as usual; however, there was a certain amount of tweaking required to cope with the situation. Dublin, for instance, did not contest the All-Ireland semi-final as Leinster champions; they were nominated to play the game and their Leinster final against Carlow (which Dublin won) was postponed until November. [4]

Munster Championship format change

Kerry, were a bye team to the Munster final, Cork a bye team to the Munster semi-final, A Preliminary Round game was contested between Tipperary and Waterford - the winners were awarded the Quarter-final against Clare. Limerick refused to take part in the Championship. It was also used in the 1939 championship but this format did not exist again until 1980.
