The All-Ireland final between Cork and Galway was their 11th championship meeting. Cork were hoping to win their 10th title over all. Galway were hoping to retain the title and win their 8th All-Ireland title.

Galway entered the game as reigning champions and warm favourites as they fielded 12 of the team that won the title the previous year. Although playing against the wind in the first half, Cork scored two vital goals to hold a five-point 2-6 to 0-7 interval lead. In a hard-fought second half Cork maintained their grip on the game to secure a seven-point victory.

Cork's All-Ireland victory was their first since 1988. The win copper-fastened their position as number one on the all-time roll of honour. This victory was Cork's 100th All-Ireland title in all grades of inter-county hurling.

Galway's All-Ireland defeat was their fifth in a final. It was also the first of three successive All-Ireland final defeats.
