Bob McConkey was captain of the Limerick team in 1921 when the trophy was first presented. A different trophy, the Great Southern Cup, was used before 1921 as the trophy for winners of the All-Ireland Hurling Championship. A new Liam McCarthy Cup replaced the old one in 1992 and Liam Fennelly of Kilkenny was the first man to receive it.
The original Liam MacCarthy Cup commemorates the memory of Liam McCarthy. Born in London to Irish parents in 1851, he was prominently involved in the establishment of a GAA county board in London in the 1890s. In 1921 a trophy in his honour was presented to the Central Council of the GAA and replaced the Great Southern Cup as the All-Ireland trophy. The trophy was first presented in 1921. Limerick were its first winners. Due to its age, it was retired in 1991 and a new Liam McCarthy Cup has been presented since 1992.
