The 2025 TUS Clare Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the Clare Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Clare County Board in 1887.

The draws for the 2025 Clare club championship group stages took place on 20 May 2025.[1] The championship was contested by 16 teams. The group stage was in a round-robin format, with each team playing each team in their group once.[2]

The draws for the quarter-finals and relegation playoffs took place on 25 August 2025.[3] The quarter-finals were played between the winners of each group versus the runners up of each group. The relegation playoffs were played between the last-place teams of each group, with the losers of these entering a relegation final to determine the relegated team.

The draws for the semi-finals and relegation final took place on 7 September 2025.[4] The relegation final was won by St. Joseph's Doora-Barefield, relegating Corofin to the 2026 Clare Intermediate Hurling Championship. The final was won by Éire Óg, who defeated Clooney-Quin; it was Éire Óg's first senior hurling championship win in 35 years.[5][6]
