Other records[]

Beaten sides[]

Between 1887 and 1996 the championship was played on a straight knock out format whereby the All-Ireland champions were the only undefeated team of the competition. The introduction of the qualifier system in 1997 has resulted in seven 'back-door' All-Ireland champions:

  • Offaly (1998) were beaten by Kilkenny in the Leinster final.
  • Cork (2004) were beaten by Waterford in the Munster final.
  • Tipperary (2010) were beaten by Cork in the first round of the Munster championship.
  • Kilkenny (2012) were beaten by Galway in the Leinster final.
  • Clare (2013) were beaten by Cork in the Munster semi-final.
  • Limerick (2018) were beaten by Clare in Munster round 4.
  • Tipperary (2019) were beaten by Limerick in the Munster final.

On a number of occasions teams have been defeated twice but have remained in the championship:

  • Limerick (2005) were beaten by Tipperary and Galway but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
  • Waterford (2005) were beaten by Cork and Clare but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
  • Limerick (2006) were beaten by Tipperary and Clare but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.
  • Cork (2007) were beaten by Waterford and Tipperary but still qualified for the All-Ireland quarter-final.

Final success rate[]

Only one county has appeared in the final once, being victorious on that occasion:

  • Tipperary (1887–1909)

On the opposite end of the scale, only one county has appeared in the final more than once, losing on each occasion:

  • Tipperary in 1949, 1950, 1961, 1964, 1965 and 2001.
  • Cork in 1926, 1941 and 1953.

Longest undefeated run[]

The record for the longest unbeaten run stands at 21 games held by Kilkenny. It began with a 1–23 to 1–9 win against Westmeath in their opening game of the 2006 championship and finished with a 3–22 to 0–19 win against Cork in the All-Ireland semi-final of the 2010 championship. The 21-game unbeaten streak, which included no drawn game, ended with a 4–17 to 1–18 loss to Tipperary in the 2010 All-Ireland final.

This broke the previous record of 16 consecutive games unbeaten by Tipperary, which began in May 1949 with a victory in the opening round of the championship, and ended with a seventeen-point defeat of Waterford in the Munster semi-final of the 1952 championship. The 16-game unbeaten streak, which included 15 wins and one draw, ended with a 1–11 to 2–6 loss to Cork in the subsequent Munster final.

Team 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 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.
