The 2021 club finals were not held due to Covid.

There was a precedent  a century ago due to the Civil War. The 1921 and 1922 hurling and football  finals were delayed and played in 1923

"In the space of four months during the summer and autumn of '23, Dublin's footballers - represented respectively by the St Mary's and O'Toole's clubs - claimed the first two parts of a three-in-a-row at Croke Park, beating Mayo in June to secure the 1921 honours and then following it up with the 1922 title that October against Galway.
Dublin would also win the 1923 Leinster championship between those two national finals, but the All-Ireland decider for that edition would not be played until the following year.
Similarly in hurling, 1921 and 1922 were ultimately decided in '23, with Limerick scoring 8-5 in a comprehensive victory over the Dubs for the first of those in March."

Why not do the same a century later ?

The fixture list is tight enough right now Seafóid without going down this particular rabbit hole. Happy Christmas.
