On 6 May Kilkenny defeated Cork in the final to win their 15th NHL title, moving them to second place in the all-time roll of honour, behind Tipperary who have won 19 Leagues.[1][2][3]

Format edit

The 2012 format was originally to consist of five divisions: Divisions 1 and 2 having eight teams in each, Division 3A six, Division 3B seven, and six teams in Division 4.

However, this was controversially altered to a system of six divisions, with six teams in divisions 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 3A, and four in division 3B.[4] This meant that many counties were effectively relegated to a lower division.[5][6] It was agreed in October 2011 that there would no longer be an eight-team Division 1, with the top division hurling counties giving their approval to the new system.[7] The league settings are as follows:

  • Division 1A: Top three teams qualify for NHL semi-finals. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 1B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted and qualifying for NHL semi-final. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 2A: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 2B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted. No relegation.
  • Division 3A: Top two teams play division final, but the winner is not promoted. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 3B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted.

four in division 3B 4 This meant that many counties were effectively relegated to a lower division 5 6 It was agreed in October 2011 that there would no longer be an eight team Division 1 with the top division hurling counties giving their approval to the new system 7 The league settings are as follows Division 1A Top three teams qualify for NHL semi finals Bottom two teams play a relegation
