*Dublin wins over Kilkenny in the championship have been rare – only one in the last 80 years. 

Their sole success in that period came in 2013 when they won a Leinster semi-final replay by three points. 

They later went on to win the Leinster title for the first time since 1961.

*Kilkenny beat Dublin by 2-25 to 1-17 in this year’s Allianz League., having beaten them by an average of 13 points in their last two championship meetings in 2021 and 2022.

*Dublin will play Galway in Croke Park in the last round; Kilkenny will be away to Wexford in Chadwicks Wexford Park.
