In the All Ireland semi-final at Breffni Park the CIE Dublin team drew with Cavan, who had won a delayed Ulster championship because of difficulties getting the Ulster final played in wartime conditions. When it took place on 14 September, Cavan, who had earlier defeated Fermanagh and Monaghan, beat Antrim 2–3 to 1–2. The following week they played Dublin in the All Ireland semi-final in Breffni Park, Rita Sullivan scoring Cavan's fourth goal and the equalising score in the final seconds of play.Cavan's historic semi-final team was: Peggy Lynch (Killygarry), Julia O'Reilly (Killygarry), Mae McBreen (Upper Lavey), Mae Meehan (Killygarry), Kathleen O'Reilly (Killygarry), Kathleen O'Reilly (Killygarry), Mollie Donohue (Killygarry), Anne Lee (Killygarry), Anne Fitzpatrick (Upper Lavey), Kathleen Smith (Killygarry), Madeleine O'Farrelly (Killygarry), Rita Sullivan (Killygarry), Moya Donnelly (Killygarry). Four points from Kathleen Cody and goals from Sheila Cunningham, Laura Blunn and May Neville helped Dublin to a 3–4 to 1–4 semi-final victory over Cavan in the replay at Inchicore. Ann Fitzpatrick scored Cavan's goal at the beginning of the second half. It was a robust match in which two players retired injured in the first half. While the Anglo Celt reported "Cavan were quick to appreciate the worth of the opposition and their spoiling tactics effectively cramped the overhead style of the Dublin cailíní, which, if allowed to develop, might have brought serious developments." the Irish Independent reported, referee Peg Morris had difficulty controlling a game which also produced the unedifying spectacle of girls indulging in fisticuffs.Report of semi-final in Irish Independent, September 29, 1941 Final Kitty Buckley scored six goals in Cork's victory. Maureen and Patty Hegarty were the first twins to win All-Ireland medals. Dublin full-back Tess Leahy, was the first Kilkenny woman to play in an All-Ireland final. Her brother, Terry, scored the winning point for Kilkenny in the 1947 All-Ireland hurling final.Report of final in Irish Press, October 13, 1941 Final stages 21 September Semi-Final Cork 8–3 – 0–2 Galway The Mardyke 21 September Semi-Final Dublin 3–3 – 4–0 Cavan Breffni Park 28 September Semi-Final Replay Dublin 3–4 – 1–1 Cavan Inchicore 12 OctoberFinal Cork 7–5 – 1–2 Dublin Croke Park FFFFFF FF0000 FFFFFF FF0000 000000 CorkFFFFFF 87CEEB FFFFFF 87CEEB 000000 Dublin Cork: GK 1 Peggy Hogg FB 2 Joan Cotter RWB 3 Maureen HegartyCB 4 Lil Kirby LWB 5 Mary FitzgeraldMF 6 Kathleen Coughlan (0–3)MF 7 Mary Vallelly MF 8 Mona Hobbs RWF 9 Patty Hegarty CF 10 Kitty Buckley (Capt) (6–0)LWF 11 Eileen Casey (1–0)FF 12 Kathleen Barry (0–2).
