Arrangements The championship was organised on the traditional provincial system used in Gaelic Games since the 1880s, with Loughgiel Shamrocks of Antrim and Granagh-Ballingarry of Limerick winning the championships of the other two provinces.
Final Martina Haverty's goal for Pearses proved decisive in the final, as the Galway team led 3–3 to 1–0 at half time, but had to contend with a Lisdowney comeback which began when Ann Downey scored a goal from a free and Marina Downey added three points.Irish Examiner, November 24, 1997Report of final in Irish Independent, November 24, 1997Irish Times, November 24, 1997
