1887 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
The 1887 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the first staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. The championship began on 2 July 1887 and ended on 1 April 1888.
Tipperary won the title following a 1–1 to 0–0 defeat of Galway in the final.
The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the governing body of Gaelic games in Ireland, had been formed in 1884, but for the first three years of its existence, its member clubs played only friendly matches and locally organised tournaments. In 1887, however, the existing county boards started to organise knock-out championships for the club teams within their own county. The county club championships were then extended to a national or All-Ireland inter-county series of games.
Entered championship
For the only time in its history there were no provincial championships and an open draw was used to determine the pairings in the All-Ireland championship.
