The Laois (Queens County) team that lost to Tipperary were from the Portlaoise club. They are the only team in history not to get a single score in an All–Ireland football final.^[1]

It was Tipperary's first All-Ireland SFC title: they would win three more in 1895, 1900 and 1920. Football has since declined in the county, with hurling becoming more prominent.^[2]
