The 2025–26 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship is the 55th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The competition is scheduled to run from 2 November 2025 until 18 January 2026.

Na Fianna were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by St Martin's in the Leinster quarter-finals.[1][2][3][4] Setanta, as the first ever Donegal representatives, made their championship debut, while Éire Óg and St John's returned after long absences.
