The series was won by Ireland, who won both test matches by comfortable margins and recorded their sixth overall series victory. The series was the first to be played under the new trophy name of the Cormac McAnallen Cup, after the Tyrone team captain, whose death that year from a heart condition came after he had represented Ireland in the previous three series.
