List of All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship finals

Contested by the top hurling teams in Ireland, the tournament has taken place every year, except in 1888, when the competition was not played due to a tour of the United States by would-be competitors.

The final, held in the middle of August since the introduction of the new format in 2018, except for 2022 when it was held in the middle of July, serves as the culmination of a series of games played during the summer months, and the results determine which county's team receives the Liam MacCarthy Cup.

The Championship was initially a straight knockout competition open only to the champions of each of the four provinces of Ireland.

During the 1990s the competition was expanded, firstly incorporating a "back-door system" and later a round-robin group phase involving more games.

^ Limerick refused to play in Thurles after the original fixture on 18 February 1911 in Cork was postponed owing to the state of pitch.
