Best Answer

In the town of Birr, on the 1st of April 1888, the final for the 1887 championship was played. Thurles, representing Tipperary, beat Meelick representing Galway. At that time it wasn't unusual for the championship of one year to be completed in another, which is why the 1887 final was played in 1888. At that time too, clubs represented counties, rather than having actual county teams.
