The Sligo Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Sligo GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Sligo. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Connacht Junior Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship. Previously, the winners used to compete in the Connacht Senior Club Hurling Championship but were very unsuccessful at that level.

2025 - Addressing an Imbalance of quality of teams

Club hurling has grown in recent years within Sligo, success in the Cuchulainn Leagues (cross-county competitions including Mayo, Roscommon, Longford and Leitrim) has demonstrated this. In 2025 in the Cuchulainn Leagues, Coolera/Standhill won division 2 and Tourlestrane won division 3. At division 1 level Easkey finished 2nd and Naomh Eoin 3rd in the table - noticeable competing competitively with Tuairín of Mayo, considered to be on the level of a Galway Intermediate Level Hurling team. To allow for a wide ranging standard Calry/St. Josephs, Coolera/Standhill, Naomh Molaise Gaels, Tourlestrane and Western Gaels played off to determine 2 spots in the Senior Championship proper along side Easkey and Naomh Eoin. In 2025, Coolera/Standhill and Western Gaels took the final two spots in the Senior Championship proper. Calry/St. Josephs, Naomh Molaise Gaels and Tourlestrane then proceeded to play in the Junior Championship.

Group stage

The 4 clubs play each once in the group stage. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record.

Final: The top two teams contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

Qualification

At the end of the championship, the winning team qualify to the subsequent Connacht Junior Club Hurling Championship.
