Disciplinary

At least eight players have been sent off in an All-Ireland final: Dick Carroll of Kilkenny and John Barron of Waterford in the 1959 final replay, Tom Ryan of Tipperary and Lar Foley of Dublin in the 1961 final, Éamonn Scallan of Wexford in the 1996 final; Benny Dunne of Tipperary in the 2009 final, Cyril Donnellan of Galway in the 2012 final replay and Richie Hogan of Kilkenny in the 2019 final.

Managers

Records

Danny O'Connell was the main trainer for the Kilkenny Senior Hurling team in the early years of the G.A.A and managed to win twelve All-Ireland senior titles, in 1904, 1905, 1907, 1909, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1922, 1932, 1933, 1935 and 1939.[2]

  • Brian Cody is the only manager to win the All-Ireland title eleven times, in 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 (all Kilkenny).
  • Just two managers have reached the All-Ireland final with two different teams:
  • In 2009, Justin McCarthy became the first manager to reach the All-Ireland semi-finals with three different teams: Cork (1975, 1984), Waterford (2002, 2004, 2006, 2007) and Limerick (2009). In addition, he was in charge of Clare in the 1978 Munster final, when a win would have qualified them directly for the all-Ireland final.
  • Fourteen individuals have won the All-Ireland as a player then later as a manager:

Team results table

This section represents in colour-coded tabular format the results of GAA county teams in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship since 1997.

Prior to 1997, counties played in separate provincial championships, with only four provincial champions coming together in the All-Ireland semi-finals, and it is difficult to directly compare results across counties. Since 1997, several beaten teams from the provincial championships play together in the All-Ireland qualifier series.

Non-Irish teams

London became the first overseas team to compete in the All-Ireland Championship in 1900. For four consecutive years they were given a bye to the All-Ireland final where they played the "home" champions in the final proper. They won their only All-Ireland title in 1901.[3] London returned to the All-Ireland Championship on a number of occasions between 1969 and 1996.

In 1905 Lancashire and Glasgow entered the All-Ireland Championship at the quarter-final stage.[4] Lancashire returned for one more championship campaign in 1913 whilst Glasgow returned for the 1910 and 1913 championships.

New York fielded a team in an expanded All-Ireland Championship in 1996.
