The 2017 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is the 130th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The championship began on 23 April 2017 and ends on 3 September 2017. The draw for the championship was held on 13 October 2016 and was broadcast live on RTÉ2.^[1]

Tipperary are the defending champions.^[2] Meath fielded a team in the championship for the first time since 2004.

Format

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is a double-elimination tournament based on the Leinster and Munster provincial championships and the Christy Ring Cup. Fifteen teams take part.^[3]

Leinster and Munster Championship Formats

Leinster Senior Hurling Championship

Seven of the twelve Leinster counties compete. Galway and Kerry, though not in Leinster, also participate. The competition begins with a qualifier group consisting of the four weakest teams. Two teams from the qualifier group progress and the remainder of the competition is knock-out. Most of the beaten teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers – the two bottom teams in the Leinster qualifier group do not.

In 2017 the bottom team in the Leinster qualifier group will be relegated to next year's Christy Ring Cup (2nd tier). Their place in next year's Leinster qualifier group will be taken by the winner of 2017’s Christy Ring Cup.

Meath qualified for this year's Leinster Championship by winning the 2016 Christy Ring Cup.

Munster Senior Hurling Championship

Five of the six Munster counties compete. Kerry participates in The Leinster Hurling Championship (see above). The competition has a knock-out format. All of the beaten teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers.

Qualifiers Format

The eight teams beaten in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Leinster and Munster Hurling Championships enter the All-Ireland hurling qualifiers. The GAA congress held in February 2017 voted to allow the winners of the 2017 Christy Ring cup to enter the 2017 qualifiers in a new preliminary round. The qualifiers are knock-out and eventually result in two teams who progress to the two All-Ireland quarter-finals.

All-Ireland Format

The beaten finalists in the Leinster and Munster championships play the two winning teams from round two of the qualifiers in the two All-Ireland quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, the Leinster and Munster champions play the winners of the two quarter finals. The final normally takes place on the first Sunday in September.

Non-participating Provincial Championships

Connacht and Ulster teams can compete in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship by qualifying for and winning the Christy Ring Cup (tier 2).

Connacht Senior Hurling Championship

This competition is no longer organised. Galway represent Connacht and participate in the Leinster Championship.

Ulster Senior Hurling Championship

Although this competition takes place, it is not part of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. Currently no Ulster teams qualify to play in this year's Leinster championship which means that winning the Christy Ring cup is their only route into this year's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship.

Provincial Championships

Leinster Senior Hurling Championship

Leinster Format

Nine counties compete - seven from Leinster plus Galway and Kerry. Last year's Leinster champions receive a bye into the semi-final. The championship begins with a qualifier group involving the four weakest teams. The group winners and runners-up join four of the five strongest teams in the three Leinster quarter finals as the competition continues in a knock-out format. Two semi-finals and a final follow.

Green background (rows 1 and 2) are the teams that earn a place in the quarter-finals of this year's Leinster Championship. Red background (row 4) are relegated and play in the Christy Ring Cup next year. The winners of this year's Christy Ring Cup are promoted in their place to the qualifier group of next year's Leinster Championship. As Westmeath, Kerry and Meath all finished on two group points, they are ranked according to score difference.

Leinster Quarter-Finals

Last year's Leinster champions receive a bye into the semi-finals. The remaining six teams (four seeded teams plus the qualifier group winners and runners-up) play in three quarter-finals. An informal system of promotion or relegation operates in this round; if a team from the qualifier group wins their quarter-final, they will be seeded in next year's Leinster championship and the beaten seeded team will compete in next year's Leinster qualifier group.
