The tournament was a straight knockout, with 10 teams. Kildare (who took a team holiday instead [1] ) and Kilkenny did not compete.

Dublin were the winners, defeating Louth in the final in Parnell Park, a victory overshadowed by the death of one of the umpires, John Buckley, shortly after the game. [2] [3]
