The 2011 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final was a hurling match played on 10 July 2011 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork. It was contested by Tipperary and Waterford.[2] The match pitted the 2010 All-Ireland Hurling Champions against the 2010 Munster Hurling Champions. For the first time ever, both Waterford's Senior and Minor hurling teams were making their third Munster Final appearance in a row. It was the first time the two teams had met in a Munster Senior Hurling Championship Final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh since the 2002 Munster Senior Hurling Championship final.

Tipperary won the game by a margin of 21 points, to claim their third Munster title in four years.[3][4] It was the largest winning margin in a Munster Final since the 1982 decider between Cork and Waterford, and the first time since 1936 that one team managed to score at least 7 goals.
