The 2016–17 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 47th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship since it began in the 1970–71 season. It is the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The winning team received the Tommy Moore Cup. The competition began on 2 October 2016 and ended on 17 March 2017.
The defending champion was Na Piarsaigh. That club did not qualify from the group stage of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship.[1][2]
Cuala of Dublin defeated Ballyea by 2–19 to 1–10 in the final on 17 March to claim a first title.[3][4][5][6][7] This was also a first title for a Dublin club.
Cuala's David Treacy was the competition's top scorer, finishing with 0–39.
Format
[edit]County Championships
Ireland's counties play their county championships between their senior hurling clubs. Each county decides the format for determining their county champions. The format can be knockout, double-elimination, league, etc. or a combination.
Provincial Championships
Leinster, Munster and Ulster organise a provincial championship for their participating county champions. Connacht do not organise a provincial championship and are represented in the All-Ireland semi-finals by the Galway champions. All matches are knock-out and extra time is played if it's a draw at the end of normal time.
All-Ireland
The two semi-finals are usually played on a Saturday in early February. The All-Ireland Club SHC final is traditionally played at Croke Park on 17 March (St Patrick's Day). All matches are knock-out. If it's a draw at the end of normal time in the semi-finals, extra time is played. If the final ends in a draw the match is replayed.
