Format change

Proposals by a review committee in relation to the structure of the championship were adopted by the Limerick County Board. These proposals introduced a group stage phase, guaranteeing each team three games, before progressing to a knockout phase. The new championship structure was confined to club teams. This meant that the three divisional sidesEmmets, Geraldines and Western Gaels – did not field teams.
