This was the first ladies' football final to be televised live. Monaghan had the best of the first half of the first game, leading 3–4 to 0–7. Waterford gradually clawed their way back and Monaghan needed a late Ciara McGuinness goal to force a replay.
In the replay, Monaghan missed several early goal chances and Waterford had a six-point lead at the break. A brilliant Brenda McAnespie save prevented a late equaliser and Waterford were champions.[1]
