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.

Limerick refuse to take part in the Championship. It was also used in 1939 championship but this format didn't exist again until 1980.
