The 1999 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final was the 112th All-Ireland Final and the culmination of the 1999 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, an inter-county hurling tournament for the top teams in Ireland.[1] The match was held at Croke Park, Dublin, on 12 September 1999, between Cork and Kilkenny. The Leinster champions lost to their Munster opponents on a score line of 0-13 to 0-12.[2]
Cork had trailed by a point at half time, 0-5 to 0-4, after playing the better hurling. Then Kilkenny pulled into a four-point lead in the second half, they were 0-11 to 0-8 ahead before Cork scored five unanswered points with Kilkenny only managing one more point from a Henry Shefflin free. Cork, captained by Mark Landers and managed by Jimmy Barry-Murphy held out to win their first All Ireland title since 1990.[3]
It was Cork's 28th All-Ireland hurling title, and the first final in history without a goal.[4][5]
