The 1892 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the sixth staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament. The championship ran from 30 October 1892 to 26 March 1893.
Kerry were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Cork in the Munster final.
The All-Ireland final was played on 26 March 1893 at Clonturk Park in Dublin, between Cork and Dublin, in what was their first ever meeting in the All-Ireland final. Cork won the match by 2–03 to 1–05 to become the first team to win a second title.
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.
