The 2014 National Hurling League was the 83rd staging of the National Hurling League. The league began on 15 February.[1] The divisional stage of the competition finished on 23 March.[2]

In the final played on 4 May at Semple Stadium, Kilkenny defeated Tipperary by 2-25 1-27 with TJ Reid getting the winning point in the last minute of extra-time.[3] Tipperary had led by 1-11 to 1-9 at half time, the Tipperary goal coming from John O'Dwyer when he connected with Noel McGrath’s sideline cut to touch the ball to the net from the edge of the square. The game finished in a draw at 2-17 to 1-20 after 70 minutes with injury time points for Tipperary from Shane Bourke and Kieran Bergin sending the game to extra time.[4][5] Both goals for Kilkenny came from penalties and both scored by TJ Reid and the sides were level 11 times.[6]
