Down had qualified for the final by causing an upset through knocking Offaly out in the semi-final. The team did so in a first ever inter-county hurling penalty shootout. [2] [3] However, even though Down lost the ultimate game, both finalists were promoted to the 2021 Joe McDonagh Cup. [4]
David Herity was Kildare manager. [5]
