It was won by Donegal who defeated Derry in the final. It was their first Ulster title since 1992.

Contents

Donegal's semi-final defeat of Tyrone and Derry's semi-final defeat of Armagh brought about the end of a long period of dominance by these two counties. [3] Armagh and Tyrone had shared the previous eleven Ulster senior titles between them in a run stretching back to 1999. It also brought a first major trophy for Jim McGuinness's famed Donegal team, who would go on to consign the decade-long dominance of those two counties to history. [4] [5]
