The 2024–25 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship is the 54th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship is scheduled to run from 3 November 2024 to January 2025.

St Thomas' were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify for the competition after being beaten by Cappataggle in the Galway SHC semi-finals.[1][2][3] Doon and Thomstown made their championship debuts, while Clare's Feakle returned to the championship after a long absence.

Format

[edit]

The 17 leading Irish hurling county play a county championship, with one club progressing to the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. In this, each province plays their own championship (all being straight knockout) with the four provincial champions qualifying for the All-Ireland semi-finals. There are 8 teams in Leinster, 5 teams in Munster, 3 teams in Ulster and only 1 in Connacht, with the Galway champions progressing straight to the semi-finals.

The champions of other counties play in the 2024–25 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship and the 2024–25 All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship.
