The St. Hyacinthe-Donnacona Navy defeated the Hamilton Flying Wildcats 7–6.
This was the last Grey Cup to be contested by military teams, as the Second World War ended in time for the civilian unions to conduct abbreviated seasons in 1945. It was also the last Grey Cup to not feature a Western team, although WIFU champions would not be granted an automatic berth in the Grey Cup game until 1955.
