[2] Galway entered the championship as the defending champions in search of a fifth successive title. [3]

The final, the first to be played at Semple Stadium in Thurles in over 30 years, was played on 21 August 2021 between Cork and Galway, in what was their first meeting in a final in four years. Cork won the match by 1-23 to 0-12 to claim their 19th championship title overall and their first title since 2001. [4] [5]
