The Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship is an annual hurling tournament played between the winners of the senior club hurling championships of the counties in Leinster. The winners represent Leinster in the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. The current holders of the Leinster title are Oulart the Ballagh from Wexford, who in 2015 became the first team from Wexford since 1998-1999 to win the Leinster title. They defeated Cuala of Dublin by a scoreline of 2-13 to 0-13 in Dr. Cullen Park in Carlow.

The first Leinster senior club hurling championship winners were St Rynagh's of Offaly in 1970-71. Kilkenny is the most successful county to date; Kilkenny clubs have won the Leinster championship on 19 occasions. The most successful club is Ballyhale Shamrocks of Kilkenny who have won the championship on eight occasions.

As of 2015, the champions from counties Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Westmeath and Wexford compete in this competition,^[1] with other counties instead entering their teams at Intermediate or Junior level.
