The 2009β10 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 40th staging of Ireland's premier inter-county club hurling competition since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1970β71. A total of 15 teams competed in the championship, with Ballyhale Shamrocks unseating the two-time defending champions Portumna by 1β19 to 0β17 in the final at Croke Park, Dublin.[1] The championship began on 11 October 2009 and concluded on 17 March 2010.
Pre-championship
The build-up to the opening of the championship was dominated by Portumna and the possibility that they would become the first club to win three All-Ireland titles in-a-row, and a remarkable fourth in five championship seasons.[2] Having secured their fifth county title since 2003, Portumna were only two games away from imoortality. The club had already come to be regarded as possibly the greatest club side of all-time. Winning an elusive three-in-a-row would close the argument on club hurling's greatest team.[3]
Ballyhale Shamrocks were regarded as the primary challengers to Portumna's stranglehold on the championship. They entered the competition having captured their fourth county title and were hoping to become the first club to win five All-Ireland titles. Similarly, they were hoping to exact revenge on Portumna who dished out a 5β11 to 1β16 trouncing in the previous year's semi-final.[4]
