It was the last year to date that a Kilkenny team played in the Leinster championship.

Kerry were the defending champions and were hoping to win a record-breaking fifth successive championship title.

On 19 September 1982, Offaly won the championship following a 1-15 to 0-17 defeat of Kerry in one of the most dramatic and iconic All-Ireland finals in the history of the championship.[1][2][3][4] This was their 3rd All-Ireland title, their first in ten championship seasons. It remains their last All-Ireland victory.

Offaly's Matt Connor was the championship's top scorer with 0-34. Offaly's Martin Furlong was the choice for Texaco Footballer of the Year.

Miscellaneous

  • Kilkenny's 4-10 to 2-2 defeat by Kildare in the Leinster preliminary round was their last game in the Leinster Championship as the Kilkenny County Board declined to enter a team in all subsequent championships.
  • London decide to play Connacht championship games in a rotational system and are dropped from the Connacht championship draws.
  • Offaly stop Kerry from winning a fifth All Ireland title in a row in the All Ireland final.
