The 2024 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship is due to be the 137th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887.
The 2024 championship is scheduled to begin with county tournaments in April and end with the All-Ireland Final on 21 July.[1]
Limerick will enter the championship as defending champions having won the previous four championships. They will also be only the third team in history attempting to win five in a row, a feat never achieved and previously failed by Cork in 1945 and Kilkenny in 2010 — coincidentally, it was Tipperary who ended both counties' attempts at the "Drive for Five".
