The All-Ireland final between St. Finbarr's and Fenians was a unique occasion as it was the first ever championship meeting between the two teams. It remains their only championship meeting. Both sides were appearing in their first All-Ireland final.
The game was evenly contested, however, goals in the last quarter were vital for St. Finbarr's. Jimmy Barry-Murphy, Jerry O'Shea and Charlie Cullinane all found the net as St. Finbarr's claimed an eight-point victory.
St. Finbarrs' All-Ireland victory was the first of their two championship titles. They were the third Cork representatives to win the All-Ireland title.
