Miscellaneous

• Along with the 1932 final, it is the only senior hurling final match where the teams were level longer than either team led during the game.
• Tipperary led four separate times during the match. This was the most by a losing team up to that point and was not equalled until the 1972 final.
• Kilkenny only led for two minutes, which is the shortest length of time for any winning team in an All Ireland senior hurling final.
