The championship was won by Antrim, who defeated Dublin by a three-point margin in the final.
The county was represented by one club selection in the championship, albeit one that included three of the leading exponents of the game of that era or the entire history of the 12-a-side game, Kathleen Cody, Kathleen Mills and Sophie Brack.
The Irish Independent reported that the other semi-final between Dublin and Galway at Ballinasloe, ended with hundreds of spectators rushing onto the field "to voice their displeasure at the referee", Barney McDonnell from Wicklow, who had stood in for Michael Hennessy of Clare.
[citation needed] Gardaí restored order and escorted the referee away by car.
Dublin appeals that the ball had crossed the line were not entertained and Antrim retained their title.
