Brian Cody will continue to manage Kilkenny in 2018.
Cody, who has guided Kilkenny to 11 All Ireland wins and 15 Leinster titles, was ratified at a Kilkenny County Board meeting on Tuesday.
Derek Lyng and James McGarry will be involved as selectors again with Michael Dempsey staying on as physical trainer.
This summer Kilkenny were beaten by Wexford in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship.
The Cats subsequently overcame Limerick at Nowlan Park before losing to Waterford in Round Two of the All Ireland SHC Qualifiers.
