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.

Used in all seasons

• Ch — Champions
• RU — Runners-up
• SF — All-Ireland semi-finals (3rd–4th place)
• ♥ — Munster champions
• ♦ — Leinster champions
• — — did not compete

Current (2018–19, 2022–present) structure

• QF — All-Ireland quarter-finals (5th–6th place)
• PQF — All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals (7th–8th place)
• Lrr4 Mrr4 — Leinster/Munster round robin, 4th place (9th–10th place)
• Lrr5 Lrr6 Mrr5 — Leinster/Munster round robin, 5th place (11th–13th place)

Past

• The All-Ireland championship has used many different competition structures since 1997, and it is not always obvious how to rank teams. In general, the colouring code for champions (red), runners-up (orange) and semi-finalists (yellow) holds true. After that, teams are shaded green, blue, purple and grey in descending order of performance.
• The Ulster Senior Hurling Championship has not had any bearing on the All-Ireland championship since 2005 so it is not included from that year onward.
• There have been some changes of provincial championship:
  • Galway competed in the Connacht Senior Hurling Championship until 1998; they have played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship since 2009
  • Kerry competed in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship until 2004; they played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2016 and 2017
  • Antrim compete in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship, however, it has not been part of the All-Ireland since 2004; they played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship from 2009 to 2015
  • London competed in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship until 2004; they played in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship in 2013 and 2014

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.

Unbeaten 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 nine '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.

• Limerick (2023) were beaten by Clare in Munster round 2.
• Clare (2024) were beaten twice by Limerick in the Munster final and in Munster round 1.

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