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 competition ran from 3 November 2024 until 19 January 2025.

The defending champion was St Thomas'; however, the club did not qualify for the competition after losing to Cappataggle in the Galway SHC semi-final.[1][2][3] Doon and Thomstown made their championship debuts, while Clare's Feakle returned after a long absence.

The final was played at Croke Park in Dublin on 19 January 2025, between Na Fianna of Dublin and Sarsfields of Cork, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams.[4] Na Fianna won the match by 2–23 to 0–20 to claim a first title.[5][6]

Na Fianna's Colin Currie was the competition's top scorer, finishing with 0–40.
