Ulster champions Derry took on Munster champions Cork, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Cork's last title had come in 1990, while Derry had never won the competition, and last contested a final in 1958. Derry won the match by 1–14 to 2–8 to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time.
Derry won their first and only All-Ireland with a Seamus Downey goal. Cork's Tony Davis was sent off harshly.[2][3]
Henry Downey captained the victorious Derry team.[4]

Derry's manager that day was Eamonn Coleman. When Coleman died in 2007, the All-Ireland winning squad formed a guard of honour at his funeral.[5][6]
Cork player Joe Kavanagh, who also played in their 1999 defeat to Meath, described 1999 as being as bad as 1993.[7]
