Cork beat Waterford by 6–3 to nil in the Munster final. Antrim beat Cavan by 3–2 to 2–0 in the Ulster final. Eva Moran scored 2–1 as Dublin beat Antrim by three points in the semi-final in Belfast on a day that GAA President, Paddy McNamee, threw in the ball.

Two late goals by Doreen Rogers gave Dublin victory over Cork in the All-Ireland Final on a heavy pitch at the Cork Athletic Grounds. The match was level with five minutes remaining.
