Galway entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Derry in the All-Ireland quarter-final.[1][2]
The All-Ireland final, the first to feature two Ulster teams, was played on 9 July 2023 at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh, between Monaghan and Derry, in what was their first ever meeting in an All-Ireland final but their third meeting in that year's championship.[3] Derry won the match by 1-13 to 0-09 to claim their sixth All-Ireland title overall and a first title in three years.[4][5]
Derry's Max McGinnity was the championship's top scorer with 3-46.
