The Meath Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Meath GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Meath, Ireland. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.

Contents

The first senior hurling championship was held in 1902 and Navan Hibernians finished as the inaugural winning team. In 2008, Kilmessan became the first Meath club to win a Leinster hurling club championship, when they won the Intermediate title.

The 2025 Meath Senior Hurling Championship was won by Ratoath who beat Kiltale by 2–22 to 4–10 in the final replay, the initial game finishing in a 3–19 to 4–16 draw. This was Ratoath's second Meath senior hurling title in a row and their third overall.
