Hanley16 April 2011 The Championship Format The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship of 2011 will be run on a provincial basis as usual. It will be a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random in the respective provinces – there will be no seeds. Each match will be played as a single leg. If a match is drawn there will be a replay. If that match ends in a draw a period of extra time will be played, however, if both sides are still level at the end of extra time another replay will take place. Munster Championship Quarter-final: (1 match) This will be a single match between the first two teams drawn from the province of Munster. The losing team enters the All-Ireland qualifiers while the winners advance to the semi-finals. Semi-finals: (2 matches) The winner of the lone quarter-final joins the other three Munster teams to make up the semi-final pairings. The two winning teams advance to the final while the two losing teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers. Final: (1 match) The winners of the two semi-finals contest this game. The winning team advances to the All-Ireland semi-final while the losing team advances to the All-Ireland quarter-final. Leinster Championship Preliminary Round: (2 matches) These will be two matches between four of the 'weaker' teams from the province. The two winning teams advance to the quarter-finals while the two losing teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers. Quarter-finals: (3 matches) The winners of the two preliminary round games join the other four Leinster teams to make up three quarter-final pairings. The three winning teams advance to the semi-finals while the three losing teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers. Semi-finals: (2 matches) The three winners of the quarter-finals join Kilkenny (who will receive a bye to this stage) to make up the semi-final pairings. The two winning teams advance to the final while the two losing teams enter the All-Ireland qualifiers. Final: (1 match) The winners of the two semi-finals contest this game. The winning team advances to the All-Ireland semi-final while the losing team advances to the All-Ireland quarter-final.

Previous consecutive meetings stretched from 1949 (draw and replay) to 1954 – a total of seven games in six years. Earlier, eight games were played in the seven-year period 1907 to 1913, however, two of those games were played in the calendar year of 1908. The Leinster semi-final meeting between Wexford and Kilkenny at Wexford Park is the first championship meeting between the two sides at that venue since the 1944 Leinster semi-final. The All-Ireland qualifiers preliminary round meeting between Antrim and Westmeath is the first ever championship meeting between the two sides. The All-Ireland qualifiers preliminary round meeting between Laois and Cork is the first championship meeting between the two sides since the 1915 All-Ireland final. Laois are the only team that Cork have played but never beaten in the championship. Cork's total of 10–20 against Laois in the preliminary round of the qualifiers is the first time that a side has scored ten goals in the championship since Offaly defeated Westmeath by 10–9 to 2–6 in the 1966 Leinster first round. The Leinster semi-final meeting of Galway and Dublin is not only both sides first meeting in the provincial championship but is also the first meeting of the two sides since the 1941 All-Ireland semi-final.https://hoganstand.com/Laois/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=149560 Leinster and Munster qualifier hurling action 13 June 2011 Hogan Stand 22 June 2011 Dublin preserve their 100% championship record over Galway with a victory in the Leinster semi-final. Previous victories came in the 1924 All-Ireland final and the 1941 All-Ireland semi-final Lar Corbett becomes Tipperary's all-time leading championship goalscorer when he scores his 21st goal against Clare in the Munster semi-final.https://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=150057 Corbett is Tipp's top championship goalscorer 22 June 2011 Hogan Stand 22 June 2011 For the first time in history Dublin qualify for the provincial minor, under-21 and senior finals in the same year. Kilkenny's defeat of Dublin in the Leinster final is their seventh consecutive provincial title and sets a new record. Kilkenny also held the previous record of six-in-a-row between 1998 and 2003. Henry Shefflin's goal in the Leinster final made him the only player in history to score a goal in thirteen consecutive championship seasons. Tipperary's 7–19 to 0–19 defeat of Waterford is the biggest margin of victory in a Munster final since Cork beat Waterford by 5–31 to 3–6 in the 1982 provincial decider. The 21-point winning margin is joint ninth in the top ten biggest Munster final victories.http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/munster-massacre-tipp-in-seventh-heaven-2817983.html Munster massacre: Tipp in seventh heaven 11 July 2011 Irish Independent 11 July 2011 Martin Breheny The last time a team scored seven or more goals in a Munster final was in 1936 when Limerick defeated Tipperary by 8–5 to 4–6. Mick Mackey scored 5–3 of their total. Brendan Cummins equalled Christy Ring's all-time championship appearances record, joining Ring on 65 appearances for Tipperary in the Munster Final.http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2011/0709/1224300390590.html Tipperary to march forward 11 July 2011 Irish Times 11 July 2011 Seán Moran Tony Browne of Waterford becomes the fourth player to achieve at least 60 championship appearances with his appearance against Galway in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Dublin's defeat of Limerick in the All-Ireland quarter-final is their first ever championship victory over the Munster team. As a result of this, Dublin reach the All-Ireland semi-final for the first time since 1948. Waterford preserve their 100% championship record over Galway with a victory in the All-Ireland quarter-final. They have now beaten the westerners on ten occasions on the championship. The All-Ireland semi-final between Kilkenny and Waterford is delayed by fifteen minutes due to the playing of extra time in the All-Ireland minor semi-final between Clare and Galway. Kilkenny become the first team ever to reach six consecutive All-Ireland finals. Tipperary's Brendan Cummins lines out for the 65th time in championship hurling to become the most "capped" player of all-time in the All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin. After equalling Christy Ring's long-held record in the Munster final he betters it in this game.http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/sport/2011/0815/1224302451138.html Dublin push Tipperary all the way 15 August 2011 Irish Times 23 August 2011 Séan Moran The All-Ireland final between Kilkenny and Tipperary is the third year in-a-row that the sides meet in the championship decider.
