A total of 12 teams contested the championship. Kilkenny were the defending champions and succeeded in capturing a record-equalling fourth consecutive All-Ireland title, their seventh of the decade.

Antrim, Clare, Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Laois, Limerick, Offaly, Tipperary, Waterford and Wexford all contested the All-Ireland championship.

The championship began on 30 May 2009 and ended with the All-Ireland final on 6 September 2009 in which defending champions Kilkenny retained their title, their fourth in as many years, against Tipperary.

Format

The format of the 2009 championship was slightly different from previous years. Firstly, Galway have had no opposition in the Connacht Senior Hurling Championship since 2004. Due to this it was decided at a special meeting of the GAA's congress for Galway to join the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship for a three-year trial period, starting with the 2009 championship. Antrim, being the only Tier 1 team in the Ulster Senior Hurling Championship, also participated in the Leinster Championship on a three-year trial period. Antrim will also competed in the Ulster Championship which was run as a separate tournament to the All-Ireland Hurling Championship.

12 counties will participate in Tier 1 of the 2009 Championship. These teams are as follows:

Provincial Championships The Munster championship will be played as usual with five teams. The Leinster championship will also proceed as usual, except for the addition of both Antrim and Galway, bringing the total number of competing teams to seven. The Leinster and Munster champions will advance directly to the All-Ireland semi-finals.

All-Ireland Qualifiers The qualifiers give teams defeated in the provincial championships another chance at winning the All-Ireland. Phase 1: (2 matches) the three Leinster quarter-finalists and the Munster quarter-finalist play off. Phase 2: (2 matches) the two Leinster semi-finalists and two Munster semi-finalists play off. Phase 3: (2 matches) The four winners of Phase 1 and Phase 2 games meet in Phase 3. The two Phase 3 winners advance to the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

All-Ireland Series Quarter-finals: (2 matches) The defeated Munster and Leinster finalists will play the winners of the Phase 3 qualifiers. Semi-finals: (2 matches) The Munster and Leinster champions will play the winners of the quarter-finals.

Promotion/Relegation

Promotion and relegation between Tier 1 and Tier 2 will be in operation in the 2009 championship. The defeated team in the Round 2 match of the Relegation playoffs will be demoted to the Christy Ring Cup 2010, to be replaced by the winners of the Christy Ring Cup 2009.
