The 1941 Winnipeg Blue Bombers was the 12th season in franchise history. They finished in first place in the WIFU with a 6–2 record. The Blue Bombers won their third Grey Cup championship by defeating the Ottawa Rough Riders 18–16. This would be the last official Blue Bomber season until 1945 due to the suspension of operations of both the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union and the Western Interprovincial Football Union because of World War II; star halfback Jeff Nicklin had elected to enlist in the Royal Winnipeg Rifles of the Canadian Army in the summer of 1940 and served abroad until his death in 1945. The Winnipeg Football club would establish a city league that had three teams, one with civilian Bomber players on it. The 1942 Grey Cup would be played with a team called the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers that was composed of all-stars from each of the teams.
