Clontibret O'Neills were the defending champions after they defeated Scotstown in the previous years final, but they lost their crown to Monaghan Harps at the semi-final stage.

This was Inniskeen Grattans' return to the senior grade after a 3-year absence since being relegated in 2011 and they were relegated back to the I.F.C. after just one year in the senior grade, along with Donaghmoyne Fontenoys who also spent just one year in the top flight.
