edit

Provincial hurling championships were not held at junior level in 1977. The winners of the respective 'A' and 'B' sections of the National Hurling League Division 3 would go forward to contest the All-Ireland final.

Louth reached their third consecutive final after a League campaign which included victories against Derry (twice), Monaghan and Tyrone.[2] Fermanagh's path to the final included wins against Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, and Mayo.[3]

All-Ireland final

Louth led by seven points at half-time (1-08 to 1-01) and at the final whistle emerged as winners by a ten-point margin.[4][5]
