Team results table

Results table

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 or fewer 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, making it easier to rank teams based on performance.

All-Ireland Knockout Stage Appearances by County

The three main ways to qualify for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship are through:
  1. Provincial Championships: Previously, the Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster champions qualified to the All-Ireland. Now the top 3 in Leinster and Munster qualify.
  2. All-Ireland Qualifiers : Open for all teams knocked out of their provincial championships.
  3. Second Tier: Previously, the All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship champions qualified to the All-Ireland. Now the Joe McDonagh Cup finalists qualify.

Non-Irish teams

  • 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. 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. 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.
