The ten participating teams were Clare, Cork, Dublin, Galway, Kilkenny, Laois, Limerick, Tipperary, Waterford and Westmeath who were divided into two divisions of five teams. The participants agreed to play a four game format whereby each team would play each of their four rivals once with two points awarded for a win and one point awarded for a drawn game. The two teams with the most points in each division at the completion of the season would play a final, with the winners being declared National Hurling League champions.

Cork defeated Dublin by 4-11 to 2-7 in the final.[1]

Cork also won the All-Ireland Championship in 1941, the fifth time that a team completed the league-championship double.
