Tipperary were the defending champions; however, they were defeated in the provincial series. Dublin won the title following a 5-1 to 1-6 defeat of Clare in the final.[1]

Teams

A total of ten teams contested the championship, one less than the previous year. It was the first championship to be completed since 1887.

The Leinster championship was contested by just four teams; however, due to walkovers and disputes, only one game was played. 1888 championship participants Kildare did not field a team.

All six counties entered a team in the Munster championship.

Once again, the hurling championship was not contested in either Connacht or Ulster.
