The defending champion was Birr; however, the club was beaten by O'Loughlin Gaels in the Leinster final. Clonguish and Portumna made their championship debuts, while Roscommon's Athleague returned after a 25-year absence.

The All-Ireland final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 17 March 2004, between Newtownshandrum of Cork and Dunloy of Antrim, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. Newtownshandrum won the match by 0–17 to 1–06 to claim a first title.

Newtownshandrum's Ben O'Connor was the championship's top scorer with 0–47.
