Tipperary entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by two points by Cork in the Munster final.[2][3]
Format change
The championship was scheduled to begin in May 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic in Ireland. When the championship resumed, time constraints led to a revision of the format, with the All-Ireland semi-finals being abolished, thus resulting in no second chance for the defeated Leinster and Munster finalists.
