Éire Óg were the defending champions after they defeated Palatine in the previous years final.

This was Ballinabranna's return to the senior grade after claiming the 2018 Carlow Intermediate Football Championship title, thus ending a 3-year exodus since being relegated in 2015. However, they were relegated straight back to the 2020 I.F.C. after losing their Relegation Playoff Final at the hands of Mt. Leinster Rangers.
