The FAI Cup 1933–34[A] was the thirteenth awarding of
Ireland's premier
cup competition prize, The Football Association of Ireland Challenge Cup or
FAI Cup. The tournament began on 13 January
1934 and concluded on 17 March with the final held at
Dalymount Park,
Dublin. An official attendance[B] of 21,000 people watched
Cork claim their sole FAI Cup title by defeating inaugural winners,
St James's Gate.
A. ^ From 1923 to 1936, the
FAI Cup was known as the Free State Cup.
B. ^ Attendances were calculated using gate receipts which limited their accuracy as a large proportion of people, particularly children, attended football matches in
Ireland throughout the 20th century for free by a number of means.
