The 2025 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) is due to be the 138th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887. The competition began on 19 April 2025 and scheduled to end on 20 July 2025.[1]
Clare enter the competition as the defending champion having won a first All-Ireland SHC title since 2013.[2]
Cork are widely considered the favourites; they were the runners-up last year and won the 2025 National Hurling League, but have not won the All-Ireland SHC since 2005.[3] Kilkenny (who have not won since 2015) and Limerick (winners in 2018 and in 2020–23) are also considered major contenders.[4][5]
The final is scheduled to be played on 20 July at Croke Park in Dublin.[6]
