The old system of a four-group National League was abolished. Division 1 was split into two different groups of seven teams. The top-placed team in each group contested the home final. Galway came into the season as defending champions of the 1950-51 season. On 18 May 1952, Tipperary won the title after a 6-14 to 2-5 win over New York in the final. It was their 4th league title overall and their first since 1949-50.http://www.hoganstand.com/general/leagues/nhlrecords.aspx National Hurling League Results 1925-2009 Hogan Stand 18 April 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20100805063526/http://www.hoganstand.com/general/leagues/nhlrecords.aspx 2010-08-05 dead Group A table PosTeamPldWDLPtsNotes1 Wexford 651011 National League runners-up2 Kilkenny 641193 Waterford 640284 Cork 630365 Dublin 621356 Laois 602427 Antrim 60151 Group B table PosTeamPldWDLPtsNotes1 Tipperary 660012 National League winners2 Galway 6501103 Limerick 640284 Meath 630365 Offaly 620446 Clare 610527 Westmeath 60151 Knock-out stage Home final 20 April 1952 Home Final Tipperary hurling 4-7 – 4-6 Wexford hurling Croke Park, Dublin Final 18 May 1952 Final New York hurling 2-5 - 6-14 Tipperary hurling Croke Park, Dublin References Category:National Hurling League seasons League League
