Shelmaliers entered the championship as the defending champions; however, they were beaten by St Anne's Rathangan at the semi-final stage.[1] Crossabeg–Ballymurn joined the championship after gaining promotion from the intermediate grade.[2] Oulart–The Ballagh and Fethard St Mogue's were relegated from the championship.[3]
The final was played on 19 September 2021 at Chadwick's Wexford Park, between Rapparees and St Anne's Rathangan, in what was their first ever meeting in a final. Rapparees won the match by 6–18 to 1–18 to claim their second championship title overall and a first title since 1978.[4]
