The 2025 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was the 138th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887.[1]

Clare entered the competition as the defending champion, having won a first All-Ireland SHC title since 2013.[2] However, they were eliminated in the Munster championship where they finished fourth, thus failing to defend their title.[3]

Cork were widely considered the favourites; the team finished as runner-up in the previous edition of the competition and won the 2025 National Hurling League, but have not won an All-Ireland SHC title since 2005.[4] Kilkenny (last winner in 2015) were also considered a serious contender. Limerick (winners in 2018 and in 2020–23) were also considered major contenders, until they were eliminated by Dublin in the quarter finals.[5][6]

The final was played on 20 July at Croke Park in Dublin with Cork facing off against Tipperary, Tipperary came out as winners on a scoreline of 3–27 to 1–18, to earn their first title since 2019.[7]

  1. ^ The score of the second All-Ireland SHC semi-final was originally reported as 4–21 to 0–30 due to a wide shot being incorrectly awarded as a point to Tipperary by the Croke Park scoreboard and TV graphics. Neither umpire nor referee awarded a point.[31]

Incidents

[edit]

On 6 July, the GAA released a statement after the scoreboard at Croke Park misled Kilkenny and Tipperary towards the end of the All-Ireland SHC semi-final.[35] Kilkenny believed a goal was necessary and spent the conclusion of the game trying to score one.[36] The GAA later launched an investigation into the incident.[37]

Taoiseach Micheál Martin was questioned at the Oireachtas Committee on Finance over whether he had returned early from his visit to Japan to watch the other semi-final between Cork and Dublin. When asked about "having "booked the flight home through Toronto at a cost to the taxpayer", he denied this was why he had returned four hours early and not flown through Dubai as originally expected.[38]

A theme of the 2025 championship, as in previous years, will be the ongoing individual battle for the top championship scorer of all time between Patrick Horgan and T. J. Reid. Horgan is currently the top scorer (after the 2025 All-Ireland final) having brought his career tally to 779, compared to Reid's current tally of 758.

Scoring events

[edit]

Miscellaneous

[edit]
  • Clare, the All-Ireland holders, failed to qualify for the All-Ireland series. This hadn't happened since 2014, when Clare, also as holders, were knocked out in the qualifiers. The same happened to Clare in 1996, when they lost their only game. The last non-Clare All-Ireland holders to fail to reach the All-Ireland series were Kilkenny in 1994.
  • Kildare played in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship for the first time since 2004. It is their first time playing in the knockout stage since 1989.
  • Limerick failed to reach the semi-final stage for the first time since 2017.[39]
  • The Big Three all reached the semi-finals for the first time since 2014.[40]
  • Kilkenny failed to win the All-Ireland for the tenth year in a row, the worst in their history ever since they won their first All-Ireland SHC in 1904, surpassing the nine-year losing streaks of 1923–31 and 1948–56.
  • The 8th All-Ireland win a row for a Munster county. This is close to the record, which is 11-in-a-row (1890 to 1900).
  • The 7–26 (47 points) scored by Cork in the semi-final is the second- or third-highest amount scored by any team in an All-Ireland semi-final; the other two are:
    • Wexford, who scored 12–17 (53 points) against Antrim in the 1954 semi-final
    • Galway, who scored about 3–44 (53 points) against Antrim in the 1900 semi-final. However, this scoreline is only an estimate; Galway led by 25 points at half-time and reporters present did not keep an accurate tally of score.[41]
  • Cork were the first team to score 7 goals in an All-Ireland semi-final since 1986, when the previous team to do so was also Cork.

Live television coverage

[edit]

RTÉ, the national broadcaster in Ireland, provided the majority of the live television coverage of the hurling championship.

For the first year new streaming service GAA+ which replaced GAAGO also broadcast matches in Ireland exclusively on its pay streaming service.[42]

BBC Two Northern Ireland showed the All-Ireland semi-finals and final.[43]
