On 17 March 2003, Nemo Rangers won the championship following a 0-14 to 1-09 defeat of Crossmolina Deel Rovers in the All-Ireland final at Croke Park.[3] It was their seventh championship title overall and their first title since 1994.[4]

Nemo's Colin Corkery was the championship's top scorer with 2-23.

Team changes

The Donegal club champions did not contest the Ulster Club Championship due to a series of disputes and a delay in the completion of the Donegal County Championship.
