2018 National Hurling League#Final

League structure

Thirty five teams compete in the 2018 NHL – six teams in the top five divisions (Divisions 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A) and five teams in Division 3B. All thirty-two county teams from Ireland take part. London, Lancashire and Warwickshire complete the lineup.

Each team plays all the other teams in their division once, either home or away. Two points are awarded for a win, and one for a draw.

The Division 1 hurling quarter-finals and semi-finals will finish on the day the games are played avoiding the need for replays. If a quarter-final or semi-final is level after the initial seventy minutes, still level after two ten minute periods of extra time played each way, and still level after two further five minute periods of extra time, the outcome will be decided by a free-taking competition. This will prevent games from going to a replay and allow the league finals to be held on the scheduled date.{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/shootouts-will-decide-deadlocked-nhl-playoffs-35234625.html|title=Shoot-outs will decide deadlocked NHL play-offs|date=22 November 2016|work=Irish Independent|access-date=22 November 2016}}

Tie-breaker

• If only two teams are level on league points, the team that won the head-to-head match is ranked ahead. If this game was a draw, score difference (total scored minus total conceded in all games) is used to rank the teams.
• If three or more teams are level on league points, score difference is used to rank the teams.

The hurling quarter-finals finish on the day the games are played, avoiding the need for replays. If the score is level after the initial seventy minutes, still level after two ten minute periods of extra time played each way, and still level after a further two five minute periods of extra time, a free-taking competition is held. Each team nominates five players to take frees from their chosen position on a sixty five metre line selected by the referee and without defenders. The nominated players from each team take alternate turns. If the teams score an equal number of the five frees, the outcome of the match is decided by sudden death frees using the same nominated players in the same order.{{cite web|url= http://www.the42.ie/hurling-league-quarter-finals-2-3307959-Mar2017/|title=Here's next weekend's Allianz hurling league quarter-final clashes|date=26 March 2017|work=The 42|access-date=27 March 2017}}

The fixtures are 1st in Division 1A plays 4th in Division 1B, 2nd in Division 1A plays 3rd in Division 1B, etc. Home advantage is decided by whichever team has played fewer home games in their five league games, with a coin toss taking place if this number is the same for both teams.{{cite web|url= http://www.the42.ie/hurling-league-quarter-finals-3-3899255-Mar2018/|title=Here are the fixture details for next Sunday's hurling league quarter-finals and relegation play-offs|date=12 March 2018|work=The 42|access-date=13 March 2018}}
