The 2023–24 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 53rd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The draws for the respective provincial championships took place at various stages.[1] The championship ran from 5 November 2023 to 21 January 2024.

Ballyhale Shamrocks were defending All-Ireland Champions but failed to qualify after being beaten by O'Loughlin Gaels in the Kilkenny Senior Championship.[2] [3] Dublin's Na Fianna qualified for the Leinster Championship for the first time in their history.

The All-Ireland final was played on 21 January 2024 at Croke Park in Dublin, between St. Thomas' of Galway and O'Loughlin Gaels of Kilkenny, in what was their first ever championship meeting. St. Thomas' won the match by 0-18 to 0-17 to claim their second All-Ireland title overall and a first title in 10 years.[4] [5]

Mark Bergin was the championship's top scorer with 0-39.
