2022–23 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship

The 2022–23 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 52nd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The draws for the respective provincial championships took place at various stages between June and September 2022.[1][2][3] The competition ran from 6 November 2022 until 22 January 2023.

The defending champion was Ballygunner of Waterford; however, that club lost to Ballyhale Shamrocks in the All-Ireland semi-final.[4][5] Ferns St Aidan's and Shinrone made their championship debuts, while Kilruane MacDonaghs and St Finbarr's returned after long absences.

The final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 22 January 2023, between Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny and Dunloy Cúchullains of Antrim, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. Ballyhale Shamrocks won the match by 1–22 to 1–15 to claim a ninth title, as well as a first title in three years and a third title in four championships.[6]

T. J. Reid and Pauric Mahony were the competition's joint top scorers.
