Allianz Hurling League 2019 Launch
21 January 2019; Defending Allianz Hurling League Division 1 champions Kilkenny have a special incentive to win this year’s competition, where another success would see them join Tipperary at the top of the honours’ list. Half of Kilkenny’s honours have been won since 2002, including a treble in 2012-13-14 and doubles in 2002-03 and 2005-06. Brian Cody’s men begin their title defence at home to Cork, who were last crowned Allianz Hurling League champions in 1998. This will be the 27th year of Allianz’ partnership with the GAA through their sponsorship of the Allianz Leagues, making it one of the longest sponsorships in Irish sport. It’s a very concentrated programme this year, running between next weekend and March 24, when the Division 1 final will be played. Speaking at the launch is Uachtaráin Cumann Lúthchleas Gael John Horan. Photo by Brendan Moran/Sportsfile
