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. 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.

Croke Park, Dublin The 1941 semi-final replay, held in Tralee, was the last All-Ireland semi-final replay to be held outside Croke Park until the 1983 replay between Cork and Dublin in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.Seán Moran https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/remembering-when-kerry-kicked-ahead-of-dublin-78-years-ago-1.4014161 Remembering when Kerry kicked ahead of Dublin 78 years ago: This year will be only the third replay between the counties, and the first in Croke Park The Irish Times 11 September 2019 11 September 2019 Dublin... hadn't won Leinster for seven years and didn't go into the All-Ireland semi-final as provincial champions – they were nominated by the province because of the foot-and-mouth outbreak that year, which caused the Leinster final against Carlow to be postponed until November. Postscript: Dublin won by 4–6 to 1–4... By this stage [the 1930s] the tendency to spread the [All-Ireland] semi-finals around the country was dying, and the 1941 replay in Tralee would be the last played outside Croke Park until 1983, when Dublin memorably went to Páirc Uí Chaoimh to take on Cork in an All-Ireland semi-final replay. 17 August 1941Semi-Final Replay Kerry football 2–9 – 0–3 Dublin football S.
