The 1994–95 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 25th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The championship began on 14 August 1994 and ended on 17 March 1995.

Sarsfields were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify for the championship. Naas of Kildare, St. Dominic's of Roscommon, Tullaroan of Kilkenny and Oulart-the Ballagh of Wexford made their first appearances in the championship.

On 2 April 1995, Birr won the championship following a 3-13 to 2-03 defeat of Dunloy in a replay of the All-Ireland final.[1] This was the first All-Ireland title.

Paddy Kelly of Kilmallock was the championship's top scorer with 1-26.
