- 1984 final: ref Irish Examiner May 1985 for match report. In May 1985, Galway Gaels beat St Endas (Cork) 2–8 2–5 in Austin Stack Park, but were later stripped of the title when they were found to have fielded (an) illegal player(s). Their win in Connacht in 1984 has also been expunged.
- This was originally the All Ireland semifinal. As a result of the expulsion of Galway Gaels and because Galway Gaels played no semifinal, this was retrospectively deemed to be the final. Report: Leinster Express 1831–current, Saturday, 20 April 1985; Page: 35
