Connacht proved to be the more dominant team during the play-off, but Ulster were the first to score with a well-placed chip over the top leading to a try. Connacht were not to be held back and drove forward after the restart. Their efforts resulted in a touchdown for Tandy Johnson, bringing the score to 5-5. Ulster hit back with another try just before half-time but Connacht took charge at the start of the second half with a lineout driven over and dotted down. Ulster piled on the pressure on the Connacht line, and while the westerners' defence held strong, eventually Ulster spotted a gap on the wing and took their chance. The score put them 15-10 in front.

With time running out, Connacht threw everything they had left into the game and were camped on the Ulster line, going through at least ten phases before scrum half Sorcha Ni Chadhain flicked it out the line and centre Catriona Ni Chaba skipped past the Ulster defence to score. Ireland international Nuala Ni Chadhain stepped up to take the conversion which floated over leaving Connacht 17-15 winners.

The Munster Women's team claimed the Interprovincial title beating Leinster 11-10 in an extremely tight final.
