The Kildare Senior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the UPMC Kildare Senior Hurling Championship and abbreviated to the Kildare SHC) is an annual club hurling competition organised by the Kildare County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the top-ranking senior clubs in the county of Kildare in Ireland, deciding the competition winners through a group and knockout format. It is the most prestigious competition in Kildare hurling.

Contents

In its present format, the eight participating teams are drawn against each other in a Preliminary Round and following that the four Preliminary Round winners go to a winners group and the other four in to a ‘losers’ group. At the group stages they play each other in a single round-robin system. This is followed by a knockout phase of one quarter final (3rd in Winners group v 2nd in Losers Group), then two semi-finals and culminates with the final match at St Conleth's Park in October. The winner of the Kildare Senior Championship qualifies for the subsequent Leinster Club Championship. From 1971 until 2012, the winning team received the Seán Carey Cup, however, a new trophy in honour of the late Tony Carew (Coill Dubh) was donated by the Carew family in 2013.

The competition has been won by 25 teams, 19 of which have won it more than once. Clane is the most successful team in the tournament's history, having won it 16 times. Naas are the reigning champions, having beaten Coill Dubh by 3-13 to 0-11 in the 2023 final.
