The 1946 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 60th staging of Ireland's premier Gaelic football knock-out competition.
The Munster Quarter-Final Kerry ended Cork's All Ireland title.
Kerry won their sixteenth title, moving ahead of in the all-time standings, a position which they have never lost since.[1] [2] [3]
----------------Note: Roscommon’s goal proved to be a controversial one. The goal was scored by Roscommon’s Jimmy Murray and there was some confusion as to whether or not it would be allowed as the umpires failed to signal the score. It was only after Jimmy Murray had raised the green flag himself that the umpires finally signalled the goal. The referee, speaking after the match to the Irish Press match reporter ‘Green Flag’ (an appropriate sobriquet) stated that he had allowed the score because in his opinion the Mayo goalkeeper, Tom Byrne, was behind the line when he saved Murray’s initial goal effort. In the week following the final, Mayo entered a formal objection with the Connacht Council, reportedly about the legality of two of the Roscommon team. Roscommon entered a counter-objection. At a meeting of the Connacht Council on 5/8/1946 at Castlerea, both the objection and counter-objection were withdrawn, the referee’s report was adopted and a replay ordered.
