After receiving a bye in the first round, Olympia beat St James's Gate in the semi-final.

According to Peter Byrne this also resulted in a popular giant killing chat – "Remember Olympia once beat Shels".

[4][2] Olympia effectively ended the Bohemians/Shelbourne monopoly and in subsequent seasons the cup was won by Leinster Senior League clubs such as St James's Gate and Dublin United.

Brideville were losing finalists in 1923–24 as were Glasnevin in 1924–25, Grangegorman in 1946–47, Transport in 1947–48, St Patrick's Athletic in 1950–51 and Longford Town in 1954–55.

[5] The 2000–01 competition suffered with fixture rows and was eventually abandoned after the quarter-final draw was made due to the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak.

The Leinster Senior cup returned for the 2023 season, with Bohemians winning a record 33rd title.
