All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship

The All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was a hurling competition organized by the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland. The competition was originally contested by the second teams of the strong counties, and the first teams of the weaker counties. In the years from 1961 to 1973 and from 1997 until now, the strong counties have competed for the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship instead. The competition was then restricted to the weaker counties. The competition was discontinued after 2004 as these counties now compete for the Nicky Rackard Cup instead.

Overview

edit

The Championship is a single elimination tournament. Each team is afforded only one defeat before being eliminated from the championship. Pairings for matches are drawn at random and there is currently no seeding. Each match is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn there is a period of extra time, however, if both sides are still level at the end of extra time a replay takes place and so on until a winner is found.

Format

edit

Provincial championships: The provincial championships are played on a straight knockout basis.

Quarter-finals: The British champions and one of the provincial winners teams contest this round. The winners advance to the semi-finals.

Semi-finals: The quarter-final winner and the other provincial winners contest this round. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.

Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Promotion

edit

At the end of the championship, the winning team is automatically promoted to the All-Ireland Intermediate Hurling Championship for the following season.
