The All-Ireland final between Wexford and Tipperary was the second championship meeting between the two teams. Both sides were appearing in their second consecutive All-Ireland final with Tipperary hoping to retain the title.

Wexford adapted better to the appalling weather conditions and nullified the threat of Michael "Babs" Keating. His only contribution over the hour was a goal from a 40-yards free. The Wexford defence of Dan Quigley, Willie O'Neill, Vinny Staples and Willie Murphy were standout players in the 3-7 to 1-4 victory.

Wexford's All-Ireland victory was their very first. As of 2015 it remains their only All-Ireland title in the under-21 grade.

gollark: That's higher than average life expectancy basically everywhere, and for much of it you are an old person and unable to do much.
gollark: I mean "immortality" as in "will not randomly die of old age and such", not "live for an infinite amount of time", which would have problems.
gollark: Ideally I would just be immortal, but who knows how that's likely to go.
gollark: Alternatively, attain VAST quantities of money somehow and die on the moon.
