Summary

The All-Ireland SFC final between Cork and Antrim was notable for a number of firsts. Not only was it the first appearance by an Ulster team in the All-Ireland SFC final, but it was also the first ever, and, to date, the only, championship meeting of Cork and Antrim.

Antrim started well by scoring the first goal of the game. Charlie Paye replied, while Billy Mackessy followed with a goal at the start of the second half. The final quarter saw Cork score four goals in all, including two more from Mackessy, who recorded the first All-Ireland SFC^{[ clarification needed ]} hat-trick. Some commentators claimed^{[ who? ]} that one of Cork's six goals should have been awarded as a point.

Cork's All-Ireland SFC title win was their first since 1890. It was Cork's second All-Ireland SFC title overall, and put the team joint fourth on the all-time roll of honour, alongside Limerick.

The 19-point winning margin for Cork remains a record for an All-Ireland SFC final.
