Report

The Big three – Kilkenny (36 wins), Cork (30) and Tipperary (28) between them account for 94 GAA All-Ireland Hurling Championship Final wins out of the 133 played since 1887. Kerry surprisingly holds the record for winning percentage in the All-Ireland Final with 100% although that Championship victory came in 1891. Antrim are the only county to have appeared in the Final without a victory, having lost two Finals. Munster Counties account for 74 Championship titles between them with Limerick (9), Clare (4) and Waterford (2) also winning Championships, meaning all six Munster counties have won the All-Ireland Final. Leinster has been the second most successful Province with Wexford and Dublin (6 wins each), Offaly (4) and Laois (1) also getting on the winners roll, all of them in the Southern half of the province. Galway are the only Connacht Champions with 5 wins, although London which is part of Britain GAA and competes in Connacht in the Gaelic Football Championship, won one Championship in 1901 out of the four All-Ireland Finals it played in when they took on the 32 Counties Champions for the All-Ireland title.

Note: Scores in GAA given in Goals-Points, a Goal being worth 3 Points. Thus Limerick 2-26 Tipperary 2-14 works out as 32 points to 20 in Limerick’s favour.

Report

Tipperary were GAA All-Ireland Hurling Champions in 2019, taking the Liam McCarthy Cup back to the Premier County by defeating Kilkenny by 14 points (3-25 to 0-20). They had earlier won the League Stage of the Munster Hurling Championship by winning all four games before losing to Limerick in the Munster Final, thus leaving them in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals, where they defeated Laois by 10 points (2-25 to 1-18) and then Wexford by 2 points in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals (1-28 to 3-20).

Kilkenny had come through an extremely competitive Leinster Championship with Dublin’s shock win over Galway on the last day of the League stage leaving four counties on five points each. Having to be separated by Points Difference Dublin as the third placed county went into the All-Ireland Preliminary Quarter-Finals with the Munster 3rd Place county and the Joe McDonagh Cup winners and Runners-Up. Kilkenny won the league stage of the Leinster Championship but were defeated by Wexford in the Leinster Championship final, thus leaving them a difficult match against Cork, who had to qualify via the Joe McDonagh Cup (All-Ireland Division 2 Championship). Having knocked out Cork, Kilkenny then triumphed by four points over Limerick in the All-Ireland Semi-Finals.

GAA Hurling Christy Ring Cup 2016 [Reference: 2]

Report

Meath won the GAA Hurling Christy Ring Cup (Division 2 All Ireland) in 2016, by a point over Antrim after a replay. They had earlier beaten Wicklow, London and Kildare. In all, eight counties were eligible for the Christy Ring Cup, Meath. Kildare and Wicklow (Leinster), Antrim, Derry, Down (Ulster), Roscommon (Connacht) and London (Britain). Meath fell 1-7 to 0-1 behind after only 19 minutes, but a dramatic late comeback, spearheaded by substitute Sean Quigley, who only came on in the 64th minute, saw Meath claim a first ever Christy Ring Cup by a point (2-18 to 1-20), or so it seemed, as the score was later shown to be erroneuous, and aReplay needed, this time Meath winning by a point (4-21 to 5-17). Stephen Clynch hit the last-minute point from a free in extra-time in the replay, in what turned out to be a nine-goal thriller.

About Hurling

Hurling is an ancient Gaelic Irish Sport, and one of the four Charter GAA Sports of 1884. It is played with a Hurl or Hurley (stick) and a sliotar (ball) and is one of the fastest team sports in the world. It is 15-a-side and Goals (worth 3 points) are scored as well as points (over the bar – worth one point). It is organised on a Club and County basis like most GAA Sports and has County, Provncial and All-Ireland Championships. Within both Club and County Championships there is the Hurling League (usually run over winter) and the Hurling Championship (usually run over summer). There are about 12 Top Level (Division 1) Counties that play for the Liam McCarthy Cup, as well as the Christy Ring Cup (Division 2), and Nicky Rackard (Division 3) and Lory Meaghar Cups (Division 4). Outside of Ireland there are 14 Counties that also play Gaelic Football and sometimes Hurling, with London, Warwickshire and Lancashire taking part in the lower levels of the All-Ireland Championships.
