Walterstown were the defending champions for the second year in a row after they defeated Navan O'Mahonys in the previous years final, and they successfully defended their title (to claim the "3-in-a-row") when beating Skryne 2–9 to 1–7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann on 30 September 1984. This was their 5th S.F.C. success. Gerry Cooney raised the Keegan Cup for Walterstown while Martin Barry claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
