Least successful counties

Out of the 16 counties who have participated, nine counties have never been represented in a Leinster SHC Final. These Antrim, Carlow, Kerry, Kildare, London, Longford, Louth, Meath and Wicklow. Six of these counties have never competed in a semi-final: Antrim, Kerry, London, Longford, Louth and Wicklow.

Kerry transferred from the Munster Senior Hurling Championship for a couple of years but have been transferred back, making them currently ineligible for the championship.

Tier 1 counties (4): Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Wexford

Tier 2 counties (5): Antrim, Carlow, Laois, Offaly, Westmeath
