All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is often referred to as the Guinness Hurling Championship after the main sponsor. It is the main annual hurling competition and is organized by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The games take place from May to August. The final, called the All-Ireland Final, will be played on the third Sunday in August at Croke Park in Dublin . The winner receives the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
Competition mode
There are 32 counties in Ireland. Each of these counties has its own GAA County Board to regulate gaming operations. Since the differences in performance in hurling between the individual counties are very large, a pre-selection is made for participation in the championship. The remaining counties play in the so-called Tier-2 and Tier-3 Championships, the Christy Ring Cup and the Nicky Rackard Cup.
13 counties participated in the 2010 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The teams in detail (by province):
- Leinster : Kilkenny , Laois , Offaly , Wexford , Dublin , Carlow
- Munster : Clare , Cork , Limerick , Tipperary , Waterford
- Connacht : Galway
- Ulster : Antrim
The championships of Leinster and Munster are played in a normal knockout system. Galway and Antrim have participated in the Leinster Provincial Championship since 2009. The two winners are in the semi-finals, the losers in the quarter-finals.
The other teams mentioned above play a qualifying series in the KO system. The two remaining teams are qualified for the quarter-finals. The two winners of the quarter-finals will play in the semi-finals against the champions of Leinster and Munster .
