Wexford were represented by Young Irelands, a club based in the Selskar area of Wexford town, while Cork were represented by Dromtariffe.[1]
Wexford led 1–1 to 0-1 early in the second half, when a pitch invasion began and several players were injured. The referee tried to restart the game with substitutes to replace injured players, but Cork refused. Wexford were awarded the title.[2]
Cork and Wexford did not meet again in the Championship until 2010.[1]
