Following the All-Ireland final Cork played Tipperary in the delayed Munster final and lost, thus becoming the very first All-Ireland champions but provincial runners-up.

In 1942 Cork defeated Tipperary in the Munster final and silenced their critics, before going on to claim their second consecutive All-Ireland title by again defeating Dublinn.

Following a defeat by Cork in the Munster decider in 1946, Mackey effectively retired from inter-county hurling. He was, however, coaxed back as a substitute for the 1947 Munster final defeat by Cork. Mackey also lined out with Munster in the inter-provincial series

O'Mahony first played for Cork at minor level in 1990. He was a late replacement in goal on the Cork minor hurling team that won the Munster Championship following a 1-09 to 0-09 defeat of Clare in the final. After becoming a

The umpires gave no 65-metre free, even though he clearly deflected it out wide. Cork went on to win a high-scoring and open game of hurling by 5–15 to 2–21. It was Cunningham's third All-Ireland medal and the first of a remarkable hurling and football double for Cork. Cunningham claimed his seventh Munster medal in 1992, however, Cork faced the old enemy Kilkenny in another All-Ireland final. Prior to the game

An official attendance of 62,175 was the biggest ever recorded at a Cork-Tipperary match, or at any Irish sporting event outside of Croke Park. The real attendance may have been as high as 70,000 as the gates were thrown open halfway through the preceding minor game. Cork's preparations were undermined by the

In 1995 Cork defeated Kerry by 0–15 to 1–9, with McCarthy coming on as a substitute once again to collect his sixth and final Munster medal.
