The wait is over as the 2026 local club leagues get underway this weekend, with 12 games down for decision across the county.
Supporters can look forward to the opening round of action in the Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Intermediate Hurling League and the JJ Kavanagh Premier Junior Hurling League.
A weekend programme, featuring fixtures for all 12 league games , will also be available at all venues for just €2.
Kilkenny GAA extends its sincere thanks to JB’s Bar, Kilkenny, for their generous sponsorship of the 2026 league programme.

Following a motion from a number of clubs at last year’s County Convention, the admission fee for adult league games has increased from €5 to €10.
The previous admission charge of €5 had remained unchanged since the introduction of the euro in 2002, having previously been £5 before the changeover. During that time, the costs associated with hosting games and maintaining club facilities have increased significantly.
Importantly, all gate receipts from league fixtures are retained by the participating clubs. The new admission fee will provide clubs with additional income to help meet the ongoing costs of running and developing their facilities, supporting teams and volunteers, and investing back into their local communities.
Kilkenny GAA appreciates the continued support of supporters, whose attendance at league games plays a vital role in sustaining our clubs and ensuring our local games continue to thrive.
