The 2014 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 127th staging of the All-Ireland championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The draw for the 2014 fixtures took place on 3 October 2013.[2][3] The championship began on 27 April 2014 and ended on 7 September 2014.
On 7 June 2014 Kilkenny versus Offaly was broadcast on Sky Sports, the first time a Championship fixture was broadcast live to a UK-wide audience.[4][5] British viewers were reported to have been "amazed and confused", "bemused but impressed" and "amused and confounded" after seeing hurling for the first time.[6][7][8]
Clare entered the championship as defending champions, however, they were defeated by Wexford.[9] Kilkenny won the All-Ireland title following a 2–17 to 2–14 defeat of Tipperary after a replay.[10][11][12]
