Dublin county hurling team

The Dublin county hurling team represents Dublin in hurling and is governed by Dublin GAA, the county board of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The team competes in the three major annual inter-county competitions; the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship and the National Hurling League.

Dublin's home ground is Parnell Park, Donnycarney. The team's manager is Niall Ó Ceallacháin.

The team last won the Leinster Senior Championship in 2013, the All-Ireland Senior Championship in 1938 and the National League in 2011.

Dublin won the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) in 1938, defeating Waterford in the final.

Dublin played in the 1961 All-Ireland SHC final.

In the 2005 National Hurling League, Dublin experienced relegation to Division 2, while its minor side won the Leinster MHC title for the first time since 1983. In the 2006 National Hurling League, Dublin gained promotion to Division 1 after victory over Kerry in the Division 2 final. Following some indifferent displays in the 2006 All-Ireland SHC, Dublin saved its status in the top flight of hurling counties and again contested the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2007. Though a favourite for relegation in the 2007 National Hurling League, Dublin avoided the drop by finishing in fourth position. In 2009, former Clare player Anthony Daly was appointed manager of Dublin. Under his management, Dublin contested the 2009 Leinster SHC final, but lost by two goals to Kilkenny.

Dublin won the 2011 National Hurling League title after a 12-point win over Kilkenny in May 2011, the team's first national title since winning the 1938 All Ireland SHC.

On 7 July 2013, Dublin defeated Galway by 2–25 to 2–13 (scoring 2–21 from play) to win the Leinster SHC final. This was the first time since 1961 that Dublin had won the competition. The goalkeeper from the 1961 team presented John McCaffrey, the Dublin captain, with the Bob O'Keeffe trophy.[citation needed]
