2026 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship

Common card · No. 452755

The 2026 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) is the 139th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887. Champions Tipperary entered the competition seeking back-to-back All-Ireland titles for the first time since 1965 but after finishing last in the Munster championship, they failed to qualify for the All-Ireland knockouts. Limerick, winners in 2018 and in 2020–23, were considered one of the major contenders after winning the 2026 National Hurling League — along with Cork who were runners-up in both the previous edition of this competition and the 2026 League, but had not won an All-Ireland SHC title since 2005. Kildare played in the Leinster SHC for the first time since 2004 after winning the 2025 Joe McDonagh Cup. The tournament ended in July 2026 with Limerick defeating Galway in the final in Croke Park.
