The old group stage and knock-out format was abolished in favour of the creation of a new Kilkenny Senior Hurling League. comprising 12 teams divided into two groups of six, to be followed by a straight knock-out championship. Both competitions were linked as the top two teams from each league group received byes to the quarter-finals of the championship. The remaining eight teams entered the first round proper of the championship, with the four losing teams contesting the relegation play-offs.
