The Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the AIB Munster GAA Hurling Senior Club Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Munster Council of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1964 for the champion hurling teams in the province of Munster in Ireland.
The series of games are played during the autumn and winter months with the Munster final currently being played in November. The prize for the winning team is the O'Neill Cup. The championship has always been played on a straight knockout basis whereby once a team loses they are eliminated from the championship.
The Munster Championship is an integral part of the wider All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Munster final join the champions of Galway, Leinster and Ulster in the semi-final stages of the All-Ireland Senior Club Championship.
Five clubs currently participate in the Munster Championship, with the Kerry champions participating at intermediate level. The title has been won at least once by 27 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Ballygunner and Blackrock who have both won five championship titles.
Ballygunner are the title-holders after defeating Clonlara by 2-24 to 0-17 in the 2023 Munster final.[1]
