History
Since 1927, with the exception of the 'foot and mouth' year of 1941, a 'Premier' Carlow Hurling Championship has been completed. Carlow's premier hurling championship was first awarded senior status in 1960, as the county team had won promotion to Division 1 of the N.H.L. following back-to-back Division 2 title wins. St Mullins are the Carlow kingpins with their 26 titles including pre 1960 titles that were won in Carlow's premier hurling competition in those days.
