  • The above list of honours may be incomplete. Please add any other honours you know of.
  • B. The team listed for winning the 1954 Ulster Championship is actually the team that played Dublin in the 1954 All-Ireland final, it is likely the same or very similar to the team that beat Antrim in that year's Ulster final.
