The All-Ireland final between Tipperary and Wexford was abandoned near the end. Since Tipperary were winning by a considerable margin at that stage it was decided to award them the championship title. Tipperary win their 5th All-Ireland title to become outright leaders on the all-time roll of honour. It is a position they will retain until 1942.
