Format

Several Irish counties play a county hurling championship, with one club progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Intermediate Championship. This includes the top-ranked competition (Senior County Championship) in several mid-ranked hurling counties, and the second-ranked competition (called Senior B, Intermediate or Premier Intermediate) in the top hurling counties.

Each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland Intermediate semi-finals. The London champions play in the Connacht championship.

The senior champions of the top hurling counties play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. Other lower-ranked county winners play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
