Division 1 saw a major restructuring with the abolition of the fourteen-team top flight which had previously been divided into two groups of seven teams. For the 1982-83 season, Division 1 was limited to a single group of eight teams.

Kilkenny came into the season as defending champions of the 1981-82 season.

On 24 April 1983, Kilkenny won the title after a 2-14 to 2-12 win over Limerick in the final. It was their 5th league title overall and their second in succession.[1]

Kilkenny's Billy Fitzpatrick was the Division 1 top scorer with 4-33.
