Hurling
History
Kilkenny are the most successful team in hurling. They have appeared in 54 All-Ireland Finals in all, more than any other county, winning the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 30 times as of 2007 (a record shared with Cork). They are the most successful team in recent years reaching 8 of the last 10 All-Ireland Finals. The county holds a number of distinctive records in hurling championship history, however the distinction of winning three All-Ireland titles in a row has only been attained once (1911-1913). They have however completed numerous "doubles". The first seven titles were won in nine years under Jim Droog Walsh and the Graces. Four titles were won in the 1930s, the hey-day of Lory Meagher (whom a centre in Tullaroan honours), after a famous twice-drawn final against Cork was lost and an inexplicable slip-up in 1939. Between 1963 and 1982 nine titles including those under the direction of Fr Tommy Maher, the original modern hurling coach. From 1961 to 1981 Kilkenny were never out of the provincial final.They have participated in some of the greatest games in hurling history - Terry Leahy's last-puck win in 1939 in a thunderstorm on the day that World War 2 was declared; Leahy's finishing brace for another one-point victory over Cork in 1947; named by many as the greatest final of all time, a one-point victory over Waterford in 1957; the five All-Ireland finals that brought three victories for the Pat Henderson - Paddy Delaney - Eddie Keher team between 1971 and 1975; and the 1982 and 1983 wins over Cork.

Current Team
''The following is the team that lined out for Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Hurling Quarter-Final on July 23, 2006:''
Gaelic football
Kilkenny county footballers have not won a senior championship match since 1929 when they defeated Louth by 0-10 to 0-4. Their best championship result since was a 3-8 to 3-4 defeat against Kildare in 1961, a year after they reached the Leinster Junior Championship final. Their 1970-71 league campaign yielded four victories and they won three games in a row in early 1988 League and O'Byrne Cup games. In 1914 the young team mascot, Peter Dunne, had to line out to complete their team. Kilkenny won three Leinster Senior Football Championships before 1911, when the match was awarded first to Meath because Kilkenny were late, then to Kilkenny after they had won by 2-4 to 1-1 on the field of play.
Kilkenny is unique among the 32 county associations in not entering a team in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. They are also the only county which dose not enter the National Football League. They do, however, play in the Tommy Murphy Cup.
