The 2012 National Hurling League will commence in February 2012. 34 GAA county hurling teams: 32 from Ireland (including Fingal), London and Warwickshire, will contest it.

Format

The 2012 format was originally to consist of five divisions: Divisions 1 and 2 having eight teams in each, Division 3A six, Division 3B seven, and six teams in Division 4.

However, this was controversially altered to a system of six divisions, with six teams in divisions 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 3A, and four in division 3B.[1] This meant that many counties were effectively relegated to a lower division.[2][3] It was agreed in October 2011 that here will no longer be an eight team Division 1, with the top division hurling counties giving their approval to the new system.[4] The league settings are as follows:

  • Division 1A: Top three teams qualify for NHL semi-finals. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 1B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted and qualifying for NHL semi-final. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 2A: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 2B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted. No relegation.
  • Division 3A: Top two teams play division final, but the winner is not promoted. Bottom two teams play a relegation playoff, with the losing team relegated.
  • Division 3B: Top two teams play division final, with the winner being promoted.
