History
[
edit
]
In the 2005 league Dublin were relegated to Division Two in the
National Hurling League
, while the minor side won the Leinster Championship for the first time since 1983. In 2006 Dublin gained promotion to Division One after victory over Kerry in the Division Two final.
[1]
Following some indifferent displays in the 2006
All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship
, they still managed to save their status in the top flight of hurling counties and again contested the McCarthy Cup in 2007. In the
2007 National Hurling League
, meanwhile, despite being favourites to go down in 2007, Dublin managed to avoid relegation by finishing in fourth position. In 2009, former Clare manager,
Anthony Daly
was appointed manager of Dublin.
[2]
Under his management, Dublin contested the Leinster Final, but lost by 2 goals to Kilkenny.
[3]
Dublin won the National Hurling League in May 2011 after a 12-point win over Kilkenny, their first national title since they won the
All Ireland
in 1938. The hurlers have a very fervent following who travel in significant numbers to matches in the provinces. There has been a revival in the fortunes and popularity of Dublin hurling in recent years, and Dublin underage teams have had much success.
[4]
[5]
On 7 July 2013, they won the Leinster Final against Galway on a 2?25 to 2?13 scoreline, scoring 2?21 from play. This was the first time they had won this important competition since 1961. In a nice touch, the Goalkeeper from the 1961 team, presented Dublin Captain, Johnny McCaffrey with the Bob O'Keefe trophy.

Honours
[
edit
]
Dublin's hurlers have failed to replicate the success of the county's football side, having won the Senior All-Ireland Hurling final on 6 occasions, most recently in 1938. In terms of All-Ireland titles, they are significantly behind hurling's big three of
Kilkenny
,
Cork
and
Tipperary
. Their six titles do however place them fifth in the overall winners list, jointly tied with
Wexford
.
Dublin have won the
Leinster Championship
on 24 occasions (the second highest total of any side), although they remain well behind Kilkenny, who have won the Leinster Championship 70 times.
Dublin have won the
National Hurling League
three times: in 1929, 1939 and 2011. This places them joint seventh (with
Clare
) on the overall winners list, having won 16 fewer titles than top-ranked Tipperary.

Fingal
[
edit
]
In 2007, the GAA announced that a hurling team from
Fingal
(north county Dublin) would compete in parallel to the main Dublin team,
[15]
to encourage hurling in an area of growing population where the game has not been strong.
[16]
While players from Fingal are eligible for the main Dublin team, non-Fingal players cannot play for Fingal.
[16]
The new team competed in the
Nicky Rackard Cup
in 2008,
[16]
and the
Kehoe Cup
in 2009.
[17]
They played in the National Hurling League up until 2016 when the Fingal Hurling project was disbanded.

The Dublin hurling crisis deepened yesterday when the senior hurling squad announced that they are sticking to their guns and will not play for the county under an interim management team, headed by the county chairman, John Bailey… The players refused to train on Thursday after being told that Bailey would head an interim management team following the removal of Humphrey Kelleher as boss after the Leinster first round defeat by Laois.
