Limerick rejoin the Munster football championship for the first time since 1952.
The decider was a repeat of the 1964 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final, between Galway and Kerry.
There was no change in the outcome as Galway defeated Kerry again by 0-12 to 0-09.
All-Ireland champions Galway received a bye to the Connacht final meaning that Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo and Leitrim would be in separate quarter-finals.
The Leinster championship dropped the second round after one year in 1965.
