The final was contested by Wexford of Leinster and Tipperary of Munster, with Wexford winning by 3-7 to 1-4. [1]

Contents

The All-Ireland final between Wexford and Tipperary was the second championship meeting between the two teams. Both sides were appearing in their second consecutive All-Ireland final with Tipperary hoping to retain the title.

Wexford adapted better to the appalling weather conditions and nullified the threat of Michael "Babs" Keating. His only contribution over the hour was a goal from a 40-yards free. The Wexford defence of Dan Quigley, Willie O'Neill, Vinny Staples and Willie Murphy were standout players in the 3-7 to 1-4 victory.

Wexford's All-Ireland victory was their very first. As of 2015 it remains their only All-Ireland title in the under-21 grade.
