In the Munster semi-final Kerry ended Cork's 2 years as All Ireland champions.

Quarter-finals Semi-finals Finals Note for the first time since 1975 there's a full, straightforward or proper open draw: top county teams such as Dublin, Meath or Offaly no longer get byes to the teams to the Quarter-finals.

The open draw was expected to weaken Kerry and Cork, and improve Clare, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford.
