The 2016 Munster Senior Hurling League was the inaugural staging of the Munster Senior Hurling League. The fixtures were announced on 4 December 2015.[1] The league began on 3 January 2016 and ended on 23 January 2016.
On 23 January 2016, Clare won the league following an 0-18 to 0-17 defeat of Limerick in the final.[2][3]
Limerick's Declan Hannon was the league's top scorer with 1-21.
The league attracted almost 12,000 spectators in total, an average of 1,192 per match.
Format
[edit]Five of the six Munster teams compete in the league, with Tipperary opting not to participate. Unlike its predecessor, the Waterford Crystal Cup, the league is confined to inter-county teams only. This means that third level institutions are not permitted to take part.
Each team plays the other teams in its group once, earning 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. Originally the top two teams were to play each other in the final, but as both Clare and Limerick won their first three games, it was decided that the last group game would double up as the Munster Senior Hurling League final.
