Structure London could not travel to the All Ireland semi-final against Tipperary in Roscrea. No Connacht county entered the championship.
Final Kathleen Mills had one of her best games, the Nenagh Guardian reported. Her long left handed drives brought about many of Dublin's goals. Dublin hit Tipperary with two goals in the first three minutes, led 5-2 to 0-3 at half time, and scored three more goals early in the second half. Katleen Griffin's goal for Tipperary midway through the second half drew a loud cheer from what was described as a "fair sized attendance."Report of final in Irish Press, August 3, 1953Report of final in Irish Independent, August 3, 1953Report of final in Irish Times, August 3, 1953Report of final in Irish Examiner, August 3, 1953Report of final in Irish News, August 3, 1953
