← 2016 2018 →

The 2017 National Hurling League is the 86th season of the National Hurling League for senior county hurling teams.

Clare are the defending champions, winning the title for the first time since 1977–78 after a 1-23 to 2-19 win against Waterford in a replay on 8 May 2016.

Eir Sport and TG4 provide live coverage of the league on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons respectively. RTÉ2 broadcasts highlights programme League Sunday on Sunday evenings.

Format

League structure

Thirty three teams compete in the 2017 NHL – six teams in the top four divisions (Divisions 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B), four teams in Division 3A and five teams in Division 3B. Thirty-one county teams from Ireland take part (Cavan do not). London and Warwickshire complete the lineup. Fingal were scheduled to compete in Division 3A but have withdrawn for 2017.

Each team plays all the other teams in their division once, either home or away in all divisions except Division 3A where a double round of fixtures are played. Two points are awarded for a win, and one for a draw.

On a pilot basis in 2017, the hurling quarter-finals and semi-finals will finish on the day the games are played avoiding the need for replays.

If a quarter-final or semi-final is level after 70 minutes, still level after an initial 20 minutes of extra time, and still level after a further 10 minutes of extra time, the outcome will be decided by a free-taking competition. This will prevent games from going to a replay and allow the league finals to be held on the scheduled date.

Tie-breaker

• If only two teams are level on league points, the team that won the head-to-head match is ranked ahead. If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) is used to rank the teams.
• If three or more teams are level on league points, score difference is used to rank them.
