The National Hurling League saw a major restructuring for the 1951-52 season. The old system of a four-group National League was abolished. Division 1 was split into two different groups of seven teams. The top-placed team in each group contested the home final.
Galway came into the season as defending champions of the 1950-51 season.
On 18 May 1952, Tipperary won the title after a 6-14 to 2-5 win over New York in the final. It was their 4th league title overall and their first since 1949-50.[1]

gollark: I mean, it's demonstrably true.
gollark: Writing separate parsing logic for all the different things would be annoying but I don't think I can have a unified syntax for all this stuff which doesn't look really stupid.
gollark: I probably should have clarified but whatever.
