The 1939 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final, also known as the Thunder and Lightning Final, was the 52nd All-Ireland Final and the culmination of the 1939 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, an inter-county hurling tournament for the top teams in Ireland. The match was held at Croke Park, Dublin, on 3 September 1939, between Kilkenny and Cork. The Munster champions narrowly lost to their Leinster opponents on a score line of 2–7 to 3-3.
It's one of seven All Ireland senior hurling finals to be won with the last score of the game (1904, 1907, 1912, 1939, 1947, 1957 & 1997). Kilkenny won all of those finals except for 1997.
