The All-Ireland final was played at St. Patrick's Park in Enniscorthy on 18 September 1966 between Tipperary and Dublin, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Tipperary won the match by 4-11 to 2-12 to claim their second All-Ireland title overall and a first title in three years.[2] [3]
