Teams
A total of ten teams contested the championship, one less than the previous year. It was the first championship to be completed since 1887.
The Leinster championship was contested by just four teams; however, due to walkovers and disputes, only one game was played. 1888 championship participants Kildare did not field a team.
All six counties entered a team in the Munster championship.
Once again, the hurling championship was not contested in either Connacht or Ulster.
General information
Ten counties competed in the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship: four teams in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship and six teams in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship.

Championship statistics
- Kilkenny had originally intended field a team in the championship; however, they withdrew as they did not recognise the newly formed Central Council.
- In the Munster semi-final, Tipperary defeated Clare by 3-0 to 2-2. A subsequent objection by Clare saw the result overturned.
- W.J. Spain of Dublin becomes the first dual All-Ireland medallist. He had previously won an All-Ireland medal with the Limerick Gaelic footballers in 1887
