2012 National Hurling League#Final

The 2012 format was originally to consist of five divisions: Divisions 1 and 2 having eight teams in each, Division 3A six, Division 3B seven, and six teams in Division 4.

However, this was controversially altered to a system of six divisions, with six teams in divisions 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and 3A, and four in division 3B.{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/counties-to-vote-on-new-hurling-league-format-2845335.html|title=Counties to vote on new hurling league format|date=11 August 2011|work=Irish Independent|access-date=6 March 2012}} This meant that many counties were effectively relegated to a lower division.{{cite news|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2011/1012/hurling_league.html |title=Hurling League changes are announced |date=12 October 2011 |work=RTÉ Sport |access-date=6 March 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120121053858/http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2011/1012/hurling_league.html |archive-date=21 January 2012 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/sport/revamp-announced-for-next-years-hurling-league-517286.html|title=Revamp announced for next year's hurling league|date=20 August 2011|work=Irish Examiner|access-date=6 March 2012}} It was agreed in October 2011 that there would no longer be an eight-team Division 1, with the top division hurling counties giving their approval to the new system.{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/hurling/martin-breheny-hurlings-elitist-divide-2907096.html|title=Hurling's elitist divide|date=15 October 2011|work=Irish Independent|access-date=6 March 2012}}
