The 1991–92 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 22nd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship ran from 18 August 1991 to 29 March 1992.

Glenmore were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by St Martin's in the 1991 Kilkenny SHC semi-finals.[1][2] Cashel King Cormacs, Lismore and Moorefield made their championship debuts, while Birr returned after a long absence.[3][4]

The All-Ireland final was played at Semple Stadium in Thurles on 29 March 1992, between Kiltormer of Galway and Birr of Offaly, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams.[5] Kiltormer won the match by 0–15 to 1–08 to claim a first title.[6][7]

Tommy Grogan, from the Cashel King Cormacs club, was the championship's top scorer with 1–35.
