Tipperary entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify for the All-Ireland series after losing three games in the Munster Championship.[1][2] Kerry and Galway moved province to join the Leinster Championship.[3][4]

The All-Ireland final was played at FBD Semple Stadium in Thurles on 4 June 2023 between Clare and Galway, in what was their first meeting in a final in 26 years. Clare won the match by 2-22 to 4-11 to claim their second championship title overall and their first title since 1997.[5]

Galway's Aaron Niland was the championship's top scorer with 4-72.
