The 1991-92 National Hurling League was the 61st season of the National Hurling League, the top leagues for inter-county hurling teams, since its establishment in 1925. The fixtures were announced on 28 November 2006. The season began on 20 October 1991 and concluded on 10 May 1992.
Division 1
The league saw a major restructuring of the usual four divisions of eight teams. Division 1 was split into Group 1A and Group 1B with each group consisting of six teams. The top two teams in each group qualified for the knock-out stage.
Offaly came into the season as defending champions of the 1990-91 season. Galway, Down, Laois and Offaly all entered Division 1 as part of the restructuring.
On 12 May 1992, Limerick won the title after a 0-14 to 0-13 win over Tipperary in the final. It was their 10th league title overall.[1]
Laois were relegated from Division 1 after being defeated by Dublin in a relegation play-off.
Limerick's Gary Kirby was the Division 1 top scorer with 4-38.
