The first Championship Trophy the Brendan Martin Cup was contested in Autumn of the year 1974. Eight counties Roscommon, Laois, Offaly, Galway, Kerry, Cork, Waterford and Tipperary participated in the inaugural set of games, and Tipperary won the championship. Gradually, the number of competing counties increased. In 1982 the Association received recognition for the first time as a body independent of the GAA.

While the administrative geography of Ireland has since changed, with several new counties created and the six in the north east superseded by 26 local government districts, the GAA counties have remained largely unchanged. However, the GAA county does not always and everywhere cover precisely the same territory as the traditional county. Particularly in the first 50 years of the Association but also in more recent times, there are many examples of clubs based in one of the administrative counties being allowed to participate in the leagues or championships of a neighbouring county. There are also instances where the official county boundary does not coincide precisely with the GAA county, for example where a club is based on a parish that crosses the county border.
