2008 beaten All-Ireland Senior Club Football finalists Nemo Rangers captured their 17th Cork title, and a first four-in-a-row success following a comfortable 0-13 to 0-5 win over Douglas at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. Industrious work by James Masters, Sean O'Brien, David Niblock and Paul Kerrigan in the opening half gave Rangers the foundations to ensure a convincing victory, as they always had the upper hand on Douglas, who were appearing in their first senior final. Despite the efforts of the likes of Tom Sheehan, Mark Harrington and Cormac Dineen for Douglas throughout this game, nothing could stop the Rangers in their quest for four-in-a-row success, with Douglas unable to cut the deficit to less than five points in the second half, as Rangers led by 0-7 to 0-2 at the break, with county men Paul Kerrigan, Sean O'Brien and James Masters all grabbing two first half points apiece. Nemo Rangers always looked comfortable and they finished this game strongly; with the final two points of the contest to ensure an eight-point win with Maurice McCarthy accepting the cup after the game.
