Antrim were the defending champions, however, they availed of their right to promotion to the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship and did not field a team.[1][2]

The All-Ireland final was played at Nowlan Park in Kilkenny on 19 September 1971 between Tipperary and Wicklow, in what was their first ever championship meeting. Tipperary won the match by 3-16 to 3-13 to claim their third All-Ireland title overall and a first title in five years.[3][4]
