The 2000 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final was the culmination of the 2000 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. It was played on 10 September 2000 between Kilkenny and Offaly. Kilkenny was appearing in their third consecutive All-Ireland final after losing to Offaly in 1998 and to Cork in 1999 ( on the rebels ). They aimed to win their first championship since 1993. In their first championship game since winning the championship in 1998, Offaly lined up. The team's most recent championship encounter had taken place in the Leinster final earlier that year, where Kilkenny defeated Offaly.
