Dublin's home ground is Parnell Park, Donnycarney. The team's manager is Niall Ó Ceallacháin.

History

Dublin won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 1938, defeating Waterford in the final.
Dublin played in the 1961 All-Ireland SHC final.
In the 2005 National Hurling League, Dublin experienced relegation to Division 2, while its minor side won the Leinster MHC title for the first time since 1983. In the 2006 National Hurling League, Dublin gained promotion to Division 1 after victory over Kerry in the Division 2 final. Following some indifferent displays in the 2006 All-Ireland SHC, Dublin saved its status in the top flight of hurling counties and again contested the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2007. Though a favourite for relegation in the 2007 National Hurling League, Dublin avoided the drop by finishing in fourth position. In 2009, former Clare player Anthony Daly was appointed manager of Dublin. Under his management, Dublin contested the 2009 Leinster SHC final, but lost by two goals to Kilkenny.
Dublin won the 2011 National Hurling League title after a 12-point win over Kilkenny in May 2011, the team's first national title since winning the 1938 All Ireland SHC.
On 7 July 2013, Dublin defeated Galway by 2–25 to 2–13 to win the Leinster SHC final. This was the first time since 1961 that Dublin had won the competition. The goalkeeper from the 1961 team presented John McCaffrey, the Dublin captain, with the Bob O'Keeffe trophy.
On 21 June 2025, Dublin defeated Limerick, the favourite for the All-Ireland SHC, by 2–24 to 0–28 to take a place in the 2025 All-Ireland SHC semi-finals. However, Dublin then heavily lost the All-Ireland SHC semi-final to Cork.

Support

Dublin's hurling team has a fervent following who travel in significant numbers to matches in the provinces. The 2000s brought a revival in the fortunes and popularity of Dublin hurling, and Dublin underage teams also had success at that time.

Honours

Dublin's hurlers have failed to replicate the success of the county's football side, having won the Senior All-Ireland Hurling final on 6 occasions, most recently in 1938. In terms of All-Ireland titles, they are significantly behind hurling's big three of Kilkenny, Cork and Tipperary. Their six titles do however place them fifth in the overall winners list, jointly tied with Wexford.
Dublin have won the Leinster Championship on 24 occasions, although they remain well behind Kilkenny, who have won the Leinster Championship 70 times.
Dublin have won the National Hurling League three times: in 1929, 1939 and 2011. This places them joint seventh on the overall winners list, having won 16 fewer titles than top-ranked Tipperary.

Fingal

In 2007, the GAA announced that a hurling team from Fingal would compete in parallel to the main Dublin team, to encourage hurling in an area of growing population where the game has not been strong. While players from Fingal are eligible for the main Dublin team, non-Fingal players cannot play for Fingal. The new team competed in the Nicky Rackard Cup in 2008, and the Kehoe Cup in 2009. They played in the National Hurling League up until 2016 when the Fingal Hurling project was disbanded.
