The All-Ireland final between Cork and Wexford was their fourth championship meeting. Cork were hoping to win their third title over all and become the first team to retain the title. Wexford were hoping to win their second All-Ireland title.
Cork's All-Ireland victory was their third in four years. They also became the first team to retain the All-Ireland title.
Wexford's run of bad luck in All-Ireland finals continued. After winning their sole title in 1965, defeat in 1969 marked their second loss in an All-Ireland decider since that victory.
