The 1995 Clare Senior Hurling Championship was the 102nd staging of the Clare Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Clare County Board in 1887. The championship draw took place on 27 February 1995. The championship ran from 8 July to 29 October 1995.
Clarecastle entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Cratloe in the quarter-finals.[1] Cratloe joined the championship as Clare IHC winners from the previous year. Tubber and Ruan amalgamated and contested the championship as Tubber/Ruan.
The final was played on 29 October 1995 at Cusack Park in Ennis, between Sixmilebridge and Scariff, in what was their second meeting overall in the final and a first meeting in 43 years. Sixmilebridge won the match by 2–10 to 0–15 to claim their eighth championship title overall and a first title in two years.[2] [3] [4] Sixmilebridge's Gerry McInerney was the championship's top scorer with 3–13.
Sixmilebridge later became the first Clare club to win the All-Ireland Club SHC after beating Dunloy in the 1996 All-Ireland club final.[5]
