Dublin were the defending champions, however, they were defeated in the provincial series. Cork won the title, after successfully launching an objection having originally been beaten by Wexford in the final.[1]

Teams

edit

A total of eleven teams contested the championship, one more than the previous year.

The Leinster championship was contested by five teams. Kildare made a return to the championship after a one-year absence, however, they failed to field a team and gave a walkover to their opponents.

All six counties entered a team in the Munster championship, however, a number of walkovers meant that only two games were played.

Once again, the hurling championship was not contested in either Connacht or Ulster.

General information

edit

Eleven counties competed in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship: five teams in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship and six teams in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship.

  • In the provincial championships Cork win their first Munster title and Wexford win their first Leinster title.
  • The All-Ireland final between Cork and Wexford was the first championship meeting between the two teams. The game was unfinished and Cork awarded the title after Cork withdraw on the grounds of excessively rough play by the opposition.
