Division 1 saw a major restructuring with the abolition of the fourteen-team top flight which had previously been divided into two groups of seven teams. For the 1982-83 season, Division 1 was limited to a single group of eight teams.

Kilkenny came into the season as defending champions of the 1981-82 season.

On 24 April 1983, Kilkenny won the title after a 2-14 to 2-12 win over Limerick in the final. It was their 5th league title overall and their second in succession.{{cite web|url=http://www.hoganstand.com/general/leagues/nhlrecords.aspx|title=National Hurling League Results 1925-2009|publisher=Hogan Stand|accessdate=18 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100805063526/http://www.hoganstand.com/general/leagues/nhlrecords.aspx|archive-date=2010-08-05|url-status=dead}}
