Comprehensive team results by tournament

9 county teams have participated in at least one edition of the McDonagh Cup. Kerry and Westmeath have been ever-presents in the first three editions. Down and Kildare have qualified for the 2021 edition so teams participating in the Joe McDonagh Cup will increase to 9. Offaly hold the dubious distinction of being the only team to be relegated to hurling's third-tier, having previously been relegated from the tier-one Leinster championship, in successive seasons.
