The 1954 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 33rd staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.
Cork entered the championship as the defending champions, but lost to Kerry in the Munster final.[1]
The 1954 All-Ireland final was played on 3 October 1954 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee between Kerry and London, in what was the first ever meeting of the two counties in the final. Kerry won the match by 1–07 to 1-05 to claim their eighth championship title overall and a first in five years.
