Knock-out stage

The 1974-75 season was the 44th completed season of the National Hurling League.

The National Hurling League's top division featured fourteen teams divided into two groups - eight teams in Division 1A and six teams in Division 1B. After a relatively successful run through the group stages, recording just one loss from five games, Galway won their third league title ever, their first since 1950-51. Tipperary, who were league runners-up, finished third in Division 1A courtesy of three wins, three draws and a loss.^[1]

Down at the other end of the tables, Waterford lost all but one of their group stage games and were relegated to Division 1B. They swapped places with Galway who topped Division 1B and gained promotion to the top flight in Division 1A for the following season. Wicklow and Antrim lost all of their group stage games, however, since Antrim had a superior points difference they preserved their Division 1 status.
