=Withdrawals=

In July Carlow manager Liam Hayes was forced to pull his side out of the championship due to the unavailability of the majority of his first-choice squad. Hayes made the decision as 12 of his panel were injured and four dual players decided to line out for the Carlow hurlers.{{cite web|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/carlow-forced-to-withdraw-from-murphy-cup-211977.html|title=Carlow forced to withdraw from Murphy Cup|date=16 July 2005|publisher=Irish Examiner|accessdate=17 January 2016}}
