On what was a miserable evening, the Deise, who defeated Clare by six points in Dungarvan in May, were impressive throughout and led from beginning to end.
It was Waterford's fourth-ever All-Ireland minor title and the county's first since 2013. Clare were last champions in 2023.
Played before a crowd of more than 15,000, the final score on Saturday evening was Waterford 1-18 Clare 0-10.
