Who is the best hurling team?

Answer 1

A question like that is very hard to answer. Even the greatest experts would disagree. It is also hard to compare teams that played in different eras, because different people saw them play and the nature of the game has changed. All people can really do is judge the teams they have actually seen. The Kilkenny display last September would have to be one of if not the most complete displays in an All-Ireland final ever seen. They are certainly up there amongst the greatest teams ever, but it is very difficult to say that they are the best ever.

Answer 2

A question like will get different opinions from anyone you ask, even experts. Names like Christy Ring, Mick Mack, Lory Meagher, Eddie Keher and DJ Carey, amongst many others, would often feature on such lists. The GAA has been in existence since 1884, so there are many great players that no modern person saw.

Answer 3

The All-Ireland Final is played in September each year. At the time of answering this question, Clare are the All-Ireland Hurling champions, having won the 2013 final, beating Cork in a replay.

Answer 4

That kind of question can lead to debate. However, it has to be said, that having won the last 4 All-Ireland Senior Hurling titles, Kilkenny would currently claim that distinction.

Answer 5

Hurling is the national sport of Ireland. The most famous team at the current time would be the Kilkenny Hurling team as they have had a lot of success in recent years.

Answer 6

There are a huge amount of Hurling teams in Ireland, so it is not possible to list the players of them all.
