Mayo entered the championship as defending champions, however, they were defeated by Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final.

On 16 September 1979, Dublin won the championship following a 0-10 to 1-6 defeat of Kerry in the All-Ireland final. This was their eighth All-Ireland title and their first title in twenty championship seasons.^[1]
