Cork's All-Ireland victory was their fifth in six years. The victory also secured a fourth successive All-Ireland title, a record which still stands. Wexford's run of bad luck in All-Ireland finals continued. After winning their sole title in 1965, defeat in 1971 marked their fourth loss in an All-Ireland decider since that victory.
