Donegal Masters defeated Dublin in a dramatic All-Ireland final that went to sudden death with Paddy McNulty scoring the winning point after some 86 minutes of football in Lacken, Cavan.

The winning point saw Donegal being presented with the Mick Loftus Cup for the second time in their history (they defeated Dublin also in the other final in 2019). The final score was Donegal 2-11, Dublin 1-13.
