The All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship 2025: Betting tips and predictions
THE ALL‑IRELAND Senior Hurling Championship 2025 stands as the pinnacle of inter‑county hurling in Ireland, with the prestigious Liam MacCarthy Cup awarded to the nation’s best team.
Historically, Kilkenny (36 titles), Cork (30) and Tipperary (28) have dominated the competition, but Limerick have challenged the trio’s supremacy more recently, with four wins in a row between 2020 and 2023.
However, Cork ended Limerick’s bid for a historic five-in-a-row at the semi-final stage in 2024, only to fall to Clare in a thrilling final decided by a single point after extra time. With seasoned stars like Cork’s Patrick Horgan and Kilkenny’s T.J. Reid going for another title win, the 2025 championship promises to be another unmissable summer of hurling.

Who are the current bookies’ favourites?
Limerick
Limerick and Cork have had a fierce rivalry over the years, but it has reached new levels in recent years with their All-Ireland semi-final clash in 2024, and the 2025 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final penalty-shoot out.
Limerick came out on the wrong side of both. But given their form over the past five years, John Kiely’s team are rightly one of the favourites again in 2025. The bookies are split between the two. Bet365 are just favouring Cork at 11/8, with Limerick at 7/5, whereas BetVictor have both at 11/8.
Cork
Cork and Limerick made history in the 2025 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final, with a penalty shootout needed to decide the winner for the first time ever. Cork held their nerve to prevail 3-2 in the shootout, securing their 55th provincial title in the process.
The shootout win also ended Limerick’s run of six Munster titles in a row, and along with Cork’s All-Ireland semi-final win in 2024, could the pendulum be starting to swing back towards Pat Ryan’s team in the big matches?
With Cork already into the semi-finals, the best Irish betting sites have them at 11/8 to win the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
Kilkenny
Kilkenny claimed their sixth straight Leinster title, and 77th overall, with a 3-22 to 1-20 victory over Galway in the final. While the scoreline appeared convincing, Derek Lyng’s side were forced to weather a late Galway comeback, conceding 1-6 without reply in the closing stages.
The win sees Kilkenny progress directly to the All-Ireland semi-finals, where a likely showdown with Limerick looms. Given the path ahead, bookmakers have priced the Cats as third favourites for the Liam MacCarthy Cup at 9/2.
With the ever-reliable T.J. Reid leading the charge, Kilkenny will still fancy their chances of another title, although overcoming a fired-up Limerick will be no easy task.
Who are among the underdogs?
With the defending champions Clare already out, Tipperary (11/1), Galway (25/1) and Dublin (100/1) are the shortest-priced outsiders with the bookmakers.
Dublin face Kildare in the Preliminary quarter-finals, with the winners facing the unenviable task of trying to stop Limerick in the quarter-final. Kildare are 500/1 to win the All-Ireland final, but the reality is, Dublin could well be the same odds, as neither have any real chance of getting past Limerick
Tipperary are in the other half of the draw. They will face Laois (500/1) in the other Preliminary quarter-final, with the winner taking on Galway. Whoever comes through that quarter-final, will face Cork in the other semi.
Limerick to win 2025 SHC
It took two huge performances from Cork to beat Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final in 2024 and in the Munster Championship final in 2025. They will likely need a third if they are to win their first All-Ireland title since 2005.
A closer look at recent results shows us that Limerick thrashed Cork by 16 points in the fourth match of round-robin group stage, and with a semi-final against Kilkenny likely to be the only real obstacle to John Kiely’s team reaching the final again, we are backing Limerick to come good and win their fifth title in six years.
Back Limerick to win the 2025 Senior Hurling Championship – 7/5 with bet365
Last year’s All-Ireland SHC
Clare shocked the nation in 2024 by winning the All-Ireland hurling championship for the first time since 2013. A dominant 12-point win over Wexford in the quarter-final was followed by an edgy two-point victory over Kilkenny in the semi-final.
In the other half of the draw, Cork did the unthinkable and ended Limerick’s four-year winning-streak. As a result, the title seemed certain to return to the south coast again. But Clare had other ideas, and thanks to the likes of Aidan McCarthy, Mark Rodgers, and a Man of the Match display by captain Tony Kelly, they beat Cork by one point after extra-time.
All-Ireland SHC betting markets
Match Betting
This is the most straightforward market in hurling betting. You are simply backing either of the two teams to win or the match to end in a draw. For example, you could bet on Kilkenny to beat Galway at 4/5. Odds are offered on all three outcomes, and it’s a popular choice for casual punters. Draws are rare but can offer excellent value.
Goalscorer(s)
This market allows you to bet on individual players to score a goal during the match. It can apply to first goalscorer, anytime goalscorer, or even multiple goals from a player. A multiple goals bet is often where value lies, especially with in-form forwards. An example bet could be for Tony Kelly to score a goal anytime against Tipperary at odds of 5/2. Or to back him for the first goal at better odds of 9/1.
Handicap
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage. It’s useful when one side is a clear favourite, which can often be the case in the earlier stages of the hurling season. If your team still wins by more than the handicap margin, your bet comes in. For example, you back Limerick at -10.5 points to beat Offaly, meaning Limerick must win by 11 points or more. The odds are usually 10/11 or something similar in this market.
Total Points
This market involves betting on the total number of points scored in a game, usually in the form of over/under. It includes points from goals (worth 3 each) and regular points. Odds are typically at around 10/11. A bet on over 49.5 total points in a match that finished 26-25 (51 points in total) would win, while if the match finished 25-24 (49 points), the bet would be under and lose.
Outrights
Outright bets focus on long-term outcomes like who will win the All-Ireland Championship, provincial titles, or who will be top scorer. These are popular before and during the championship for value hunting. An example would be a bet on Cork to win the All-Ireland outright at 5/1, or Patrick Horgan to finish as top scorer in the championship at 6/1.

Eddie Hearn reveals new timeline for Anthony Joshua’s retirement as ‘curveball’ talks change plans for next fight
ANTHONY JOSHUA could be heading into his final year in boxing – as the search for his next opponent continues on.
AJ is recovering from elbow surgery in May and preparing to enter training camp for his first fight since losing to Daniel Dubois in September.
Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed a comeback bout is targeted between October-December and Dillian Whyte, 37, was their frontrunner opponent.
But now Whyte is closing in on a deal to instead face 20-year-old British sensation Moses Itauma on August 16 in Saudi Arabia.
It leaves the returning Deontay Wilder as another option for Joshua – who could be approaching his final year in the sport.
Hearn told DAZN: “Dillian Whyte was probably the frontrunner, to be honest with you. Now it looks like he’s going to fight Moses – so that was a curveball.
“Jared Anderson’s been mentioned, obviously Deontay Wilder’s back soon.
“I think AJ would have been out the ring just over a year by the time he steps back into the ring.
“He will be coming off surgery, I don’t think (Tyson) Fury’s going to be ready to fight around that time anyway.
“But I expect it to be someone to gear him up for a really big fight in 2026. And probably, 2026 will be his last year in the sport.”

Wilder is coming off a KO loss to Zhilei Zhang, 42, last summer having been stunned on points by Joseph Parker, 33, in December 2023.
And the 39-year-old now returns on June 27 in Kansas against little-known 24-5 Tyrrell Herndon – where he can look to revive the AJ fight once more.
Hearn added: “AJ-Wilder’s a massive fight as well and I think because of the loss to Dubois, it makes the fight more palatable.
“Especially if Wilder can come back with a good win.”
Fury, 36, was twice beaten by Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year and announced his retirement in January a month after losing the rematch.
But Hearn still holds out hope the unpredictable Gypsy King will return to fight Joshua – setting up a swan song double header.
He said: “It’s probably three fights away. For me, if I’m advising AJ, we’re back this year, we have two Tyson Fury fights, what else is there to do?
“Maybe fight a Daniel Dubois, but for me once AJ fights Tyson Fury, he’s kind of done it all.
“I’d love him to have another crack at Daniel Dubois and I’d love him to have another crack at Usyk but you just keep going on and on and on.
“Now, if we get to next year and he’s still firing on all cylinders then 2026 won’t be his last year.
“But for me, something feels right about coming back this year, beating Tyson Fury twice and then sailing off into the sunset.”
