All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 1888

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship of 1888 was the 2nd edition of Ireland’s premier hurling knockout competition. The championship remains unfinished due to the so-called 'invasion' tour of the United States. This 'invasion' saw the infant GAA's organisational staff and 48 players go on a promotional tour of the United States. 17 of the GAA's traveling parting never returned to Ireland.
