Format

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. All games were played on a knockout basis whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The format for the All-Ireland series of games ran as follows:

• The winners of the Munster Championship advanced directly to the All-Ireland final.
• The winners of the Leinster Championship advanced directly to a lone All-Ireland semi-final.
• Galway, a team who faced no competition in the Connacht Championship, entered the championship at the All-Ireland semi-final stage where they played the Leinster champions.
• There were no representatives from the Ulster Championship in the All-Ireland series.
