2022 Walsh Cup

The 2022 Walsh Cup was the early-season tier 1 inter-county hurling competition based in the Irish province of Leinster.[1] Seven counties compete – five from Leinster, Galway from Connacht and Antrim from Ulster.

Seven other counties from Leinster competed in the tier 2 and tier 3 Leinster competitions – see 2022 Kehoe Cup and Shield.[2]

It took place in January 2022.[3] Dublin were the winners.[4]

Competition format

The teams are drawn into one group of four teams and one group of three teams. Each team plays the other teams in their group once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. The group winners advance to the final.[5]
