Rule changes
At the Gaelic Athletic Association's (GAA) annual congress held in Thurles 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.
Teams
A total of just three teams contested the championship, the fewest participants since the inaugural championship.
General information
Three counties competed in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship: one team represented Leinster and two teams in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship.
