The 2023 Longford Senior Hurling Championship was the 47th staging of the Longford Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Longford County Board in 1904.

Three teams contest the Longford Senior Hurling Championship. Clonguish Gaels enter the championship as the defending champions.[1][2] Longford Slashers and Wolfe Tones (Mostrim) round out the field.

The Championship is played on a round-robin format between the three clubs involved.[3] Each team plays the other once in a three-game system, guaranteeing at least two championship games. Top two teams after three rounds play in a lone final. There is no relegation.

The final would see Longford Slashers and Clonguish Gaels meet at Pearse Park, in a repeat of last year's final.[4] Clonguish Gaels defeated Longford Slashers by 2-14 to 1-14, winning back-to-back titles and their seventh overall.[5]

Clonguish Gaels represented Longford in the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship, losing out to St Fechins (Louth) in Round 1 on 28th October 2023. [6] [7]
