Contents

The final, usually held in March, serves as the culmination of a series of games played during the winter and spring months, and the results determine which county's team receives the cup. The championship has always been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the series. In the present format, it begins in October with provincial championships held in Leinster and Munster, with the four respective champions and runners-up contesting the subsequent All-Ireland series.

No team has ever won the championship on more than one occasion. Tipperary clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories, with four wins. The championship has been won by 12 different clubs. The current champions are Loughrea, who secured the title after defeating St. Vincent's by 1-13 to 0-8 in the 2020 final.
