Format
[edit]The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. All games were played on a knockout basis whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The format for the All-Ireland series of games ran as follows:
- There were no All-Ireland semi-finals.
- The winners of the Munster Championship advanced directly to the All-Ireland final.
- The winners of the Leinster Championship advanced directly to the All-Ireland final.
- The Ulster Championship remained suspended due to a lack of competition.
- Galway, a team who faced no competition in the Connacht Championship, played in the Munster Championship for the ninth consecutive year.
