Format

The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was run on a provincial basis as usual. All games were played on a knockout basis whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The format for the All-Ireland series of games ran as follows:
* The winners of the Munster Championship advanced directly to the first All-Ireland semi-final.
* The winners of the Ulster Championship advanced directly to the first All-Ireland semi-final where they played the Munster champions.
* The winners of the Leinster Championship advanced directly to the second All-Ireland semi-final.
* Galway, a team who were unopposed in the Connacht Championship, advanced directly to the second All-Ireland semi-final where they played the Leinster champions.
