Encyclopedia
The GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Club Championship 2009–10 was the 40th staging of Ireland
's premier inter-county club hurling
competition since its establishment in 1970–71. A total of fifteen teams competed in the championship, with Ballyhale Shamrocks

and the possibility that they would become the first club to win three All-Ireland titles in-a-row, and a remarkable fourth in five championship seasons. Having secured their fifth county title since 2003, Portumna were only two games away from imoortality. The club had already come to be regarded as possibly the greatest club side of all-time. Winning an elusive three-in-a-row would close the argument on club hurling's greatest team.
Ballyhale Shamrocks
were regarded as the primary challengers to Portumna's stranglehold on the championship. They entered the competition having captured their fourth county title and were hoping to become the first club to win five All-Ireland titles. Similarly, they were hoping to exact revenge on Portumna who dished out a 5–11 to 1–16 trouncing in the previous year's semi-final.
Each match was played as a single leg. If a match was drawn there was a replay. If that match ended in a draw a period of extra time was played, however, if both sides were still level at the end of extra time another replay would take place.
