Walterstown won the Leinster Club Championship for the first time in their history. St Finbarr's became the first club to win All-Ireland titles in both codes. They stood alone with this until the conclusion of the 2024–25 competition, when Cuala won a senior football title to add to two previously won senior hurling titles.
