The win gave Ballyhale Shamrocks a record-breaking fifth All-Ireland title, their first since 2007, and put them alone at the top of club hurling's roll of honour, one title ahead their great provincial rivals from Birr. Meanwhile, Portumna had won the previous two championships and were hoping to secure an unprecedented third All-Ireland title in-a-row, thus cementing their reputation as the greatest club hurling team of all time. Background Prior to the 2010 final, Ballyhale Shamrocks and Portumna had previously met only once in the All-Ireland championship. That meeting took place in the All-Ireland semi-final of the 2008-09 championship.
