The 2025 Offaly Senior Hurling Championship was the 128th staging of the Offaly Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Offaly County Board in 1896. The draw for the group stage placings was made on 13 February 2025.[2][3] The championship ran from 11 July to 19 October 2025.

Kilcormac–Killoughey entered the championship as the defending champions.[4][5] Tullamore were due to be relegated, however, they earned a reprieve after Kilcormac–Killoughey decided not to field their second team, in spite of earning their right to promotion after winning the 2024 Offaly SBHC.[6]

The final was played on 19 October 2025 at Glenisk O'Connor Park in Tullamore, between Kilcormac–Killoughey and Shinrone, in what was their third meeting in the final in four years.[7] Kilcormac–Killoughey won the match by 1–24 to 2–14 to claim their seventh championship title overall and a third title in succession.[8][9]

Kilcormac–Killoughey's Adam Screeney was the championship's top scorer with 1–51.
