Updated: Wikipedia source
The 2025 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was the 138th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887. Clare entered the competition as the defending champion, having won a first All-Ireland SHC title since 2013. However, they were eliminated in the Munster championship where they finished fourth, thus failing to defend their title. Cork were widely considered the favourites; the team finished as runner-up in the previous edition of the competition and won the 2025 National Hurling League, but have not won an All-Ireland SHC title since 2005. Kilkenny (last winner in 2015) were also considered a serious contender. Limerick (winners in 2018 and in 2020–23) were also considered major contenders, until they were eliminated by Dublin in the quarter finals. The final was played on 20 July at Croke Park in Dublin with Cork facing off against Tipperary, Tipperary came out as winners on a scoreline of 3–27 to 1–18, to earn their first title since 2019.
