The 2020 Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship was the third staging of the Offaly Senior B Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board. The championship began on 1 August 2020, but was later suspended due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship was later restarted and eventually concluded on 22 August 2021.[1][2]
The final was played on 22 August 2021 at Bord na Móna O'Connor Park in Tullamore, between Kinnitty and Drumcullen, in what was their first ever meeting in the final. Kinnitty won the match by 0–16 to 1–10 to claim their first ever championship title.[3]
