Arrangements

The 50th anniversary final was staged at Páirc Tailteann, venue for the first match of camogie and the revival inter-provincial series in 1956. Leinster defeated Munster by 2–7 to 1–8 with two late points. A free by Wexford’s Kate Kelly and injury-time point from Kilkenny's Áine Fahy clinched victory for Leinster. Munster, who had nine players from Cork's All-Ireland winning side, trailed 2-3 to 0-5 at half-time after Leinster struck goals by Brigit Curran and Marie Dargan. Munster's only goal came 19 minutes into the second half through substitute Clare Catherine O'Loughlin.
