Overview [ ]
Division 1 [ ]
Galway won their first league title in four seasons, as 'the Westerners' recorded two defeats throughout the entire league. Waterford , who were league runners-up, suffered three defeats in the group stages before falling to Galway in the final.
Down at the other end of the table, Dublin and Antrim went through the initial group stages without a single victory. However, a relegation group of six teams resulted in Offaly ending up at the bottom and facing relegation for the following season.

Kilkenny came into the season as defending champions of the 2003 season . Antrim entered Division 1 as the promoted team.
On 9 May 2004, Galway won the title following a 2-15 to 1-13 win over Waterford in the final.[4] It was their first league title since 2000 and their 8th National League title overall.
Offaly , who were unlucky not to make the final group, were relegated from Division 1 after losing all of their group stage matches in the relegation group.
