Miscellaneous Toomevara become the first team to win four in a row since Thurles Sarsfields between 1961 and 1964. Loughmore-Castleiney was thrown out of the championship for refusing to play extra time in their drawn quarter-final against Toomevara. A successful appeal to the Munster Council allowed the club to be subsequently reinstated.
