The 1889 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the third staging of the All-Ireland hurling championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The championship began on 27 July 1889 and ended on 3 November 1889.

Tipperary were the defending champions, however, they were defeated in the provincial series. Dublin won the title following a 5-1 to 1-6 defeat of Clare in the final.[1]

Teams

A total of ten teams contested the championship, one less than the previous year. It was the first championship to be completed since 1887.

The Leinster championship was contested by just four teams, however, walkovers and disputes meant that only one game was actually played. 1888 championship participants Kildare did not field a team.

All six counties entered a team in the Munster championship.

Once again, the hurling championship was not contested in either Connacht or Ulster.
