Kilkenny came into the season as defending champions of the 2003 season. Antrim entered Division 1 as the promoted team.

On 9 May 2004, Galway won the title following a 2-15 to 1-13 win over Waterford in the final.{{cite web|url=http://www.breakingnews.ie/sport/galway-cruise-to-league-glory-146825.html|title=Galway cruise to League glory|publisher=Breaking News|date=9 May 2004|accessdate=14 April 2017}} It was their first league title since 2000 and their 8th National League title overall.
