The 2017 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The championship began on 23 April 2017 and ended on 3 September 2017. The draw for the championship was held on 13 October 2016 and was broadcast live on RTÉ2.[1]

Tipperary, the 2016 champions, were defeated by Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final.[2] Meath fielded a team in the championship for the first time since 2004.

On 3 September 2017 Galway won the championship following a 0–26 to 2–17 defeat of Waterford in the All-Ireland final.[3] This was their fifth All-Ireland title and their first in 29 championship seasons.[4]
