Notes: 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.
