The1892 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the sixth staging of the All-Irelandhurling championship since its establishment by theGaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The championship began on 30 October 1892 and ended on 26 March 1893.
Kerry were thedefending champions, however, they were defeated in the provincial series.Cork won the All-Ireland title, after defeatingDublin by 2–3 to 1–5 in thefinal.[1]
At theGaelic Athletic Association's (GAA) annual congress held inThurles on 13 January 1892, some changes were made to the existing rules of the game. Firstly, a goal was made equal to five points. Secondly, teams were reduced from twenty-one to seventeen players. Perhaps most importantly of all, it was also decided that county champions, when representing the county, were allowed to select players from other clubs within the county.
A total of just three teams contested the championship, the fewest participants since the inaugural championship.
Three counties competed in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship: one team representedLeinster and two teams in theMunster Senior Hurling Championship.
