Moneyglass beat Errigal Ciaran 3-10 to 0-6 at Brewster Park to win their first ever Ulster ladies senior club title.
Three first half goals from Leah Stewart, Cathy Carey and Maria O'Neill sent the Antrim champions well on their way.
St Ergnat's became the first ever club from Antrim to win the senior ladies crown and they will now represent Ulster in the All-Ireland semi-final later this year.
It was the Tyrone champions who made the brighter start, racing into an early 0-2 to no score lead before they were awarded a penalty, but Maria Canavan sent the effort to the right and wide.
Moneyglass did settle with their first score on 12 minutes through Cathy Carey and that score was quickly followed with their opening goal.
Stewart reacted fastest to a free that dropped short to finish soccer style to the net.
Minutes later, the goalscorer became the provider as Stewart set-up Carey to finish to the net.
O'Neill added a third goal before half-time as the Antrim champions led 3-1 to 0-4 at the break.
Carey continued to lead the charge for Moneyglass as they outscored Errigal 0-9 to 0-2 over the course of the second half.
The Tyrone champions would go 28 second half minutes without a score before they were awarded a second penalty.
Canavan stepped up once again and had her effort palmed over the bar by Bronagh Devlin with the final act of the game to seal a maiden Ulster title for Moneyglass.
