Thurles Sarsfields were the defending champions.[2]

Thurles Sarsfields played Kiladangan in the final, a repeat of the 1938 decider, Kiladangan’s last appearance in the final.[3]

The final was played in Semple Stadium on 16 October, with Thurles Sarsfields winning the game by 0-27 to 1-15 in front of 6,546 spectators. Tipperary and Thurles legend Mickey Byrne died at age 93 on the morning of the match. It was a third successive win for Thurles, and the first time they've won three-in-a-row since the 1960s.[4][5][6]
