The period covered marked a transition from the dominance of the sport's traditional "big three" (Cork, Kilkenny and Tipperary) to the emergence of Offaly, Clare and Wexford as All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winners in successive years.[1] Offaly began the run by winning their third title with a comeback victory over Limerick in 1994.[1] Clare then won a first title since 1914 in 1995, while Wexford won a first title since 1968 in 1996, Clare following with another title in 1997.[1] The 1998 Clare v Offaly trilogy is also covered.[4]

Former Wexford hurler Diarmuid Lyng narrated.[1][5] TG4 first aired Réabhlóid GAA on 16 December 2020.[6][7] The broadcaster repeated it on 17 March 2021 (Saint Patrick's Day).[8]
