Waterford's Munster semi-final win was their first ever victory over Cork at a Cork venue at minor level.
Limerick and Waterford met in the Munster minor hurling final for the first time since 1958.
The semi-final between Limerick and Galway would prove to be controversial due to the incorrect disallowing of an early Limerick point by the new Hawk-Eye system. Limerick's attempts to have the results overturned due to the error were unsuccessful.[2]
