Teams

All but one of the twelve teams from the 2013 championship will participate in the top tier of Kilkenny hurling in 2014.

Rower-Inistioge, who defeated Emeralds by 2-13 to 2-11 in the final of the intermediate championship in 2013, availed of their right to automatic promotion to the senior championship.[4]

Similarly, Fenians defeated Graigue-Ballycallan by 0-18 to 1-14 in the 2013 senior relegation play-off, and so Graigue-Ballycallan were relegated to the intermediate grade for 2014.[5]
