Team results

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 or fewer 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, making it easier to rank teams based on performance.
