List of All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winners

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is an annual hurling competition established by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The All-Ireland Championship is open to the top hurling teams in Ireland, with 14 teams currently participating. Originally, only the county club champions of their respective county championships were allowed to participate. However, this was changed in the 1890s when teams involving non-county championship-winning players began to emerge. Tipperary, represented by Thurles Sarsfields, won the inaugural championship, beating Galway, represented by Meelick, in the 1887 final.

The prize for the All-Ireland champions is the Liam MacCarthy Cup.^[1]

Kilkenny hold the record for the most victories, winning the competition thirty-six times since its inception. They have also won the competition the most times in-a-row, winning it four times from 2006 to 2009, a record they share with Cork who won it four times from 1941 to 1944 and Limerick who have won it four times from 2020 to 2023.^[2] Kilkenny have also been runners-up the most times, losing the final twenty-five times. The province of Munster has provided the most champions, with seventy-one wins between all six counties.

The current champions are Clare, who beat Cork in the 2024 final at Croke Park.

Notes

1. The Championship was left unfinished due to many of the players travelling to the United States in an attempt to raise money for a revival of the Tailteann Games^[3]
2. The match was abandoned by the Cork team due to rough play by their opponents, with Wexford leading 2-2 to 1-6 (at the time, one goal equalled five points, so Wexford led 12 to 11). Cork were later awarded the title
3. Cork led by 2-3 to 1-5 when the Dublin side left the field in protest at a disputed goal, leaving the match unfinished. As a result, Cork were awarded the title
4. Cork won the initial game, but after an objection was raised about Cork keeper Daniel McCarthy being a reservist for the British Army, a replay was ordered, won by Kilkenny
5. Newly built FitzGerald Stadium in Killarney hosted the All-Ireland final due to a builders' strike at Croke Park^[4]
6. The centenary-year All-Ireland final was played in Semple Stadium as a gesture to the town where the GAA was founded^[5]
7. No supporters were permitted into Croke Park due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland^[6]
8. Croke Park was reduced to half capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Ireland
