Notes
A. ^ From 1923 to 1936, the FAI Cup was known as the Free State Cup.
B. ^ Attendances were calculated using gate receipts which limited their accuracy as a large proportion of people, particularly children, attended football matches in Ireland throughout the 20th century for free by a number of means.
C. ^ a Fixture abandoned after 55 minutes due to bad weather. Re-Fixture played on 10 February.
