Miscellaneous
- McQuillan's of Antrim become the first team to win three successive Ulster titles.
- Ballyhale Shamrocks win the All-Ireland title for the first time. In doing so they deny St. Finbarr's a unique double as their Gaelic footballers would later claim the All-Ireland title in that code.
