The final was played on 7 September 2025 at Walsh Park in Waterford, between Ballygunner and Mount Sion, in what was their 16th meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in the final in three years. Ballygunner won the match by 2âÂÂ25 to 1âÂÂ16 to claim their 25th championship title overall and a 12th championship title in succession.
Tom O'Connell was the championship's top scorer with 4âÂÂ68.
A motion by the Ferrybank club proposing two groups of six teams was passed prior to the championship draw. The top two teams in each group qualify for the quarter-finals. The remaining four teams in each group qualify for the preliminary quarter-finals.
