On 7 August 2021, Lisgoold won the championship after a 2-19 to 0-16 win over Harbour Rovers in the final at Páirc Uí Rinn.[1] This was their first ever championship title.

Format change

The championship had featured 14 teams, comprising the divisional champions and runners-up, since 2017. Because of time constraints as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it was decided to revert to the old system of allowing only the divisional champions take part.[2]
