The 2020 Limerick Senior Hurling Championship was the 126th staging of the Limerick Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Limerick County Board in 1887. The original championship draw took place on 16 December 2019, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic the draws for a rescheduled championship took place on 24 June 2020 with a new format being adopted.[1][2] The championship began on 23 July 2020 and ended on 19 September 2020.

Patrickswell were the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Na Piarsaigh at the semi-final stage.[3][4] Murroe-Boher were relegated after suffering a 0–24 to 1–17 defeat by Garryspillane in a playoff.

On 19 September 2020, Na Piarsaigh won the championship after a 5–27 to 1–12 victory over Doon in the final at the LIT Gaelic Grounds.[5] It was their sixth championship title overall and their first title since 2018.

Ballybrown's Andrew Cliffe was the championship's top scorer with 3-31.
