Results table

[edit]

This section represents in colour-coded tabular format the results of GAA county teams in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship since 1997.

Prior to 1997, counties played in separate provincial championships, with only four provincial champions coming together in the All-Ireland semi-finals, and it is difficult to directly compare results across counties. Since 1997, several beaten teams from the provincial championships play together in the All-Ireland qualifier series.

Non-Irish teams

[edit]
  • London became the first overseas team to compete in the All-Ireland Championship in 1900. For four consecutive years they were given a bye to the All-Ireland final where they played the "home" champions in the final proper. They won their only All-Ireland title in 1901.[1] London returned to the All-Ireland Championship on a number of occasions between 1969 and 1996.
  • In 1905 Lancashire and Glasgow entered the All-Ireland Championship at the quarter-final stage.[2] Lancashire returned for one more championship campaign in 1913 whilst Glasgow returned for the 1910 and 1913 championships.
  • New York fielded a team in an expanded All-Ireland Championship in 1996.

Managerial Records

[edit]

Danny O'Connell was the main trainer for the Kilkenny Senior Hurling team in the early years of the G.A.A and managed to win twelve All-Ireland senior titles, in 1904, 1905, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1922, 1932, 1933, 1935 and 1939.[3]

  • Brian Cody is the only manager to win the All-Ireland title eleven times, in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 (all Kilkenny).
  • Just two managers have reached the All-Ireland final with two different teams:
  • In 2009, Justin McCarthy became the first manager to reach the All-Ireland semi-finals with three different teams: Cork (1975, 1984), Waterford (2002, 2004, 2006, 2007) and Limerick (2009). In addition, he was in charge of Clare in the 1978 Munster final, when a win would have qualified them directly for the all-Ireland final.
  • Fourteen individuals have won the All-Ireland as a player then later as a manager:
