The competition format saw the four provincial champions compete in two 'Home' semi-finals, the winners of which then contested the All-Ireland 'Home' final at Croke Park.

In the last stage of the competition, the victorious 'Home' finalists then met the champions of Britain to determine who would be crowned overall All-Ireland Junior Football Champions for 1957.

The title match concluded with Mayo defeating Warwickshire, the champions of Britain, on a scoreline of 2–07 to 2–05.[1][2]
