Dublin defeated Louth, Galway, Kilkenny, Antrim and Down while Wexford defeated All-Ireland champions Cork in their opening game, Clare, Tipperary and Limerick. For the final Dublin had eight of the team that won the league title in 1979 and nine from 1981. Five of the Wexford panel were studying for the Leaving Cert and Marita O'Neill was grand-daughter of Martin O'Neill from Ferns, referee of the 1947 All-Ireland final and former secretary of the Leinster Council of the GAA.
