Louth win the Leinster championship for the first time since 1912. Cork won their first Munster title since 1928. Roscommon won the All-Ireland title for the first time ever becoming the third county from Connacht after Galway in 1925 and then Mayo in 1936 to do so; Roscommon also won a first Connacht title since 1914. There were a number of first-time championship meetings: The complete All-Ireland Series from the semi-finals of Roscommon vs Louth, Cavan vs Cork and the final between Roscommon and Cavan were all the first championship meetings of the teams. The All-Ireland final ended in a draw and went to a replay for the first time since 1938. References
