The championship was won by Cork who secured the title following a 5–16 to 0–4 defeat of Antrim in the All-Ireland final. This was their 14th All-Ireland title.

Cork were also the defending champions and retained the title for the second successive year to become the fourth team to win the three in-a-row.
