2011 National Hurling League
football league season
The 2011 National Hurling League (known as the Allianz Hurling League for sponsorship reasons) was the 80th season of the National Hurling League.
Ticket prices
In January 2011, the GAA announced a reduction in ticket prices for the 2011 National Hurling League.
The decision to cut prices was announced at a Central Council meeting and will see the cost of admission to a league game in the first division of the NHL dropping from €15 to €13, with a €5 admission to lower-level hurling games.
Division 1
Galway came into the season as defending champions of the 2010 season. Wexford entered Division 1 as the promoted team.
On 1 May 2011, Dublin won the title following a 0–22 to 1–7 win over Kilkenny in the final. It was their first league title since 1938–39 and their 3rd National League title overall.
Offaly were relegated from Division 1. Limerick won Division 2 and secured promotion to the top tier.
Waterford's Richie Foley was the Division 1 top scorer with 2-48.

Why this record matters
The phrase “football league season” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4621961. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2010 and 1938.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
