Structure
Each of Ireland's 32 counties play their own championship between all the hurling clubs in the county - depending on the county, it can be league, knockout, or a mixture of both. The 32 county champions play in the 4 provincial championships, with the four winners of these advancing to the All-Ireland Semi-Finals (one team usually plays the London champions in a quarter-final, but they invariably win). The All-Ireland Final is played in Croke Park on St. Patrick's Day.

History
1887-1891
The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship had the same format as the present Club Championship from its institution in 1887 until 1891. One club represented an entire county. In 1892 county teams were permitted for the first time.
In 1887 there were no provincial championships. Thurles (Tipperary) beat Meelick (Galway) in the All-Ireland final.
