Match
Summary
For a second consecutive year, the final pitted the Leinster champions Louth against Kerry, the champions of Munster. Louth, captained by Larry McCormack[1] of Drogheda, was seeking its first All-Ireland SFC title, while Kerry aimed to repeat the success of 1909 and secure a fourth title overall.
However, the eagerly anticipated contest did not take place, as Louth received a walkover due to Kerry's refusal to play, after the Great Southern and Western Railway declined to sell tickets to their supporters at reduced rates.[2][3]
Details
The Louth team officially selected to meet Kerry in the All-Ireland final at Jones’s Road on 13 November 1910 was announced the previous day. The selection differed from the team that defeated Dublin in the Leinster final by one change, with Jim Hughes (Young Irelands) replacing the injured Jim McDonnell (Tredaghs). [4]

Only one change is made from the team which so completely defeated Dublin... Hughes replaces McDonnell, who got hurt in that match.
