The <entity_0>, known simply as the <entity_1> Championship, is an annual inter-county <entity_3> competition organised by the <entity_1> Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). It is the highest inter-county <entity_3> competition in the <entity_1>, and has been contested every year since the <entity_2> championship. Two of the most successful teams in <entity_3>, namely Cork and Tipperary, play their provincial <entity_3> in the <entity_1> Championship. As such the <entity_1> Championship is regarded as the most skillful and exciting of all the provincial <entity_3> championships. The inaugural <entity_1> final between Cork and Clare was to be played on Wednesday <entity_2>, however, the provincial showpiece ended in disarray. At a meeting of the <entity_1> Council on 10 January 1959 it was decided to invite Galway to participate in all grades of <entity_3> in <entity_1> on a temporary basis. Between <entity_2> and 2017 the <entity_1> Championship was a knockout tournament whereby once a team was defeated they were eliminated from the championship. Between <entity_2> and 1996 the <entity_1> final winners automatically qualified for either the All-Ireland semi-final or final. In this capacity, Paddy Leahy won several <entity_1> Championship titles served as chairman of the Tipperary senior <entity_3> selection committee between 1949 and 1965.
