Offaly entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final.[1][2] Meath, who had participated in the championship since 1993, declined to field a team.

The All-Ireland final was played on 12 September 1999 at Croke Park in Dublin, between Cork and Kilkenny, in what was their 21st championship meeting overall and their first All-Ireland final-meeting in seven years. Cork won the match by 0–13 to 0–12 to claim their 28th championship title overall and a first tile in nine years.[3][4][5]

Cork's Joe Deane and Kilkenny's Henry Shefflin were the championship's top scorers with 1–24 apiece. Cork's Brian Corcoran was the choice for Hurler of the Year.[6]
