Waterford entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Tipperary in the Munster semi-final.
On 4 September 1949 Tipperary won the championship following a 6-5 to 2-4 defeat of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. This was their sixth All-Ireland title and their first in two championship seasons.
