The defending champions Tyrone retained their Ulster Championship title and qualified for the All-Ireland final by defeating Munster champions Kerry, in the first of the All-Ireland semi-finals on 11 March.[1] They awaited the winner of the clash between Mayo and Louth, which the Leinster Champions won by a single point.[2]

The All-Ireland final took place at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds in Armagh on 28 May 2025 between Tyrone and Louth, in what was the first ever meeting of the counties in the final. After leading by five points at half-time, Tyrone went on to win by 5–16 to 0–17 and successfully defend their All-Ireland title, claiming an eighth title overall at the grade and a third in four years.[3]
