Here's the All-Ireland senior hurling state of play after provincial finals

The All-Ireland quarter-finals take place later this month before the semi-finals follow in July.

AND SO, WE arrive at the All-Ireland stages of the 2026 hurling championship.

The provincial silverware has been distributed, with Galway conquering Dublin in the Leinster final, while Limerick are Munster champions after edging out a tense battle with Cork.

The result of those games mean that the All-Ireland quarter-final fixture line-up has now been decided. Those two ties will take place later this month as Clare take on Dublin and Offaly square off with Cork.

Here’s the full list of what’s in store along with the semi-final permutations.

The semi-final draw is subject to the respective provincial Champions not meeting the defeated finalists from their province and, where feasible the avoidance of repeat pairings.
