Hurling outdoor team game

Hurling is an outdoor team game of ancient Gaelic and Irish origin. It is administered by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). The game has prehistoric origins, and has been played for 4,000 years. One of Ireland's native Gaelic games, it shares a number of features with Gaelic football, such as the field and goals, the number of players, and much terminology. There is a similar game for women called camogie. It shares a common Gaelic root with the sport of shinty, which is played predominantly in Scotland.

History

Details of the Munster Under-25 Hurling Championship were announced on 18 January 2017 in response to the withdrawal of four of the five teams from the Munster Intermediate Hurling Championship. The absence of an intermediate championship meant that the senior games were left without a curtain-raiser, a role traditionally filled by the intermediate series of games. In spite of withdrawing from the intermediate grade, there was widespread support for the under-25 hurling concept among the Munster counties. This was the sixth championship to be created after the senior, junior, minor, intermediate and under-21 grades.

The Munster Hurling Intermediate Championship is an annual hurling competition organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1961 for the strong hurling teams in the province of Munster in Ireland. In some cases the teams consist of players who are not on the senior squads for their county, or in others of players who are from junior or intermediate clubs. The competition was established to prevent the stronger counties from dominating the Munster Junior Hurling Championship.

A curtain raiser is a performance, stage act, show, actor or performer that opens a show for the main attraction. The term is derived from the act of raising the stage curtain. The first person on stage has "raised the curtain".

The Munster GAA Hurling Senior Championship, known simply as the Munster Championship, is an annual inter-county hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is the highest inter-county hurling competition in the province of Munster, and has been contested every year since the 1888 championship.

Format

The Munster Championship is a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random – there are no seeds.

Each match is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn there is a period of extra time and, if the sides still remain level, a replay is required.

The draws for the Munster Under-25 Championship are the same as the Munster Senior Championship. An open draw is made in which three of the five teams automatically qualify for the semi-final stage of the competition. Two other teams play in a lone quarter-final with the winner joining the other three teams at the semi-final stage. Once a team is defeated they are eliminated from the championship.

Five of the six counties of Munster – Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford – participate in the championship.
