Carlow's home ground is Dr Cullen Park, Carlow. The team's manager is Tom Mullally.
Carlow have won three Christy Ring Championships. After losing the 2006 final to AntrimatCroke Park, they beat Westmeath in a classic final (after extra time) by 3–22 to 4–16 in 2008. This was their first "Division 2" win since 1992 and their first in the re-arranged All-Ireland structure which saw four divisions in hurling from 2009.
They repeated the feat the following year, defeating Down at Croke Park to win a two in a row and earn automatic promotion to tier one for 2010. They played at this level until 2016 which saw them relegated from the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship. The very next year, however, they won the 2017 Christy Ring Cup for a record equalling third time, gaining promotion to the top tier of hurling once again.
Carlow's last appearance in a Leinster Senior Hurling Championship semi-final was in 1993, when Kilkenny defeated them by 18 points.
Colm Bonnar left as manager in November 2020. Tom Mullally succeeded him, from January 2021.[2][3]
On 11 May 2024 Carlow achieved an historic 1-20 – 1-20 draw with Kilkenny in the third round of the Leinster senior hurling championship.[4]
