Miscellaneous

• Limerick win their fourth All-Ireland in a row and their 12th in total
• Limerick extended their unbeaten streak to 17 games, 16 wins and 1 draw, after defeating Waterford in the first round Munster championship. The streak began in the Munster quarter final clash versus Clare in October 2020, and ended with a defeat to Clare in the 2023 Munster SHC. Kilkenny are the only other county with a longer unbeaten streak, 21 games unbeaten from 2006 to 2010.
• Tipperary scored 5 goals in a championship match for the first time since 2017 when they scored 5 against Clare in the Munster Championship. They went on to score 7 against Offaly in the All Ireland preliminary quarter-final.
• The 7-38 scored by Tipperary against Offaly, equivalent to 59 points, is the highest score ever recorded in a SHC game. The aggregate score, 86 points in total, is also an all-time record.^[17]
• Conor Whelan (Galway) became the first player to score an All-Ireland SHC hat-trick since 2019 with three goals against Westmeath.
• Kilkenny's T. J. Reid becomes the first player to reach 600 points total while playing against Dublin on the 20th May 2023 in Round 4 of the Leinster Championship. While doing so, he also became the highest scoring player in the history of the All-Ireland competition, he over took this position from Cork's Patrick Horgan who is now just fourteen points behind T. J. Reid's top score.
• This was the first year Kildare competed in the championship since 2004.
• Offaly qualify for the All-Ireland knockout stage for the first time since 2003. (Does not include qualifiers)
• Westmeath defeated Wexford in the championship for the first time since 1940.
• Cork's 18th year in a row without an All-Ireland senior title, their longest dry spell since the founding of the championship.
• This was Kilkenny's eighth season in a row without a title, equalling their losing streak of 1984–91.
• Kilkenny's first time losing two All Ireland senior finals in a row to the same opposition.
• It was the first championship meeting between Offaly and Tipperary since 2010. Tipperary went on to defeat Offaly in the preliminary quarter final of the All Ireland series by 7–38 to 3–18 setting a new record for the highest team score in the history of the championship.
• It was the first championship meeting between Clare and Dublin since 2012.
• Limerick win their fifth Munster SHC in a row, the only time a county other than Cork has achieved this.
• Nickie Quaid, Declan Hannon, Graeme Mulcahy and David Reidy became the first Limerick players to win six Munster Championship medals.

Live television coverage

RTÉ, the national broadcaster in Ireland, provided the majority of the live television coverage of the hurling championship with 17 games shown.^[18]

For the first time GAAGO also broadcast 9 matches in Ireland as part of a deal that will run to 2027 and had exclusive rights to some games. After the GAA's broadcasting contract with Sky Sports expired in October 2022 and they did not seek contracts with producers on free-to-air channels such as Virgin Media Sport, GAAGO was the only place to watch certain games of the 2023 Munster Senior Hurling Championship.^[19] This was criticised by some including Tánaiste Micheál Martin.^[20]

After suspicion the service was operating beyond its clearance given by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission in 2017, the commission opened an inquiry in May 2023 into the service's adherence to competition law.^[21] RTÉ told the Irish Examiner that they believed that "CCPC approval was not needed".^[22]

On 12 July 2023, senior GAA officials appeared before the Oireachtas Sport and Media Committee to defend the controversial GAAGO coverage of All-Ireland championships, saying broadcasting every championship match on TV was "not realistic" and not in the GAA's "interest".^[23][24]

Notes

1. Waterford's usual home ground at Walsh Park is under redevelopment, so their home games were played at a neutral venue.
