Two matches were played between 28 February and 17 March 1932. It was contested by Connacht, Leinster and Munster. Munster entered the championship as the defending champions.

The final was notable in that the first ever point scored directly from a sideline cut occurred in it, after a rule change by Central Council the day before. Paddy Drennan of Leinster is credited as being the first scorer. Leinster's Din O'Neill was the Railway Cup top scorer with 5-04.
