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.

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.
