The All-Ireland final was a unique occasion as it was the first ever championship meeting between Birr and Dunloy. Both sides were hoping to make history by winning their first All-Ireland title.
The first game was played in deplorable conditions. Dunloy had led for 52 minutes, however, Birr looked to have snatched victory as the game entered lost time. Tony McGrath snatched an equalizer for Dunloy eight seconds into injury time to tie the game at 0-9 apiece.
Birr dominated the replay after Paul Murphy and Oisín O'Neill goals in the first and third minutes gave them an unprecedented 2-7 to no score half-time lead. Birr continued the rout in the second half and powered to a 3-13 to 2-3 victory.
Birr's victory secured their first All-Ireland title. They became the 17th club to win the All-Ireland title, while they were the first Offaly representatives to claim the ultimate prize.
