In the 2021 Allianz Hurling League, Waterford showcased their counter-attacking brand of hurling that resulted in them scoring 3-41 (49), which was one-third of their overall scores in the league.

Their counter-attacking game involves the Déise men turning over possession inside their 45-yard line and working possession up the field with their runners out of the defence to create a shooting opportunity from distance.
