The Meath Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Meath GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Meath, Ireland. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Leinster Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship.

The first senior hurling championship was held in 1902 and Navan Hibernians finished as the inaugural winning team. In 2008, Kilmessan became the first Meath club to win a Leinster hurling club championship, when they won the Intermediate title.

The 2025 Meath Senior Hurling Championship was won by Ratoath who beat Kiltale by 2–22 to 4–10 in the final replay, the initial game finishing in a 3–19 to 4–16 draw. This was Ratoath's second Meath senior hurling title in a row and their third overall.

Format In 2026 a new format was established. The Senior Hurling Championship is reduced to 6 teams while the other 6 teams form the bew Senior B Championship.

The 6 teams play against each other team in the group. The 1st placed team qualifies directly for the Final. The 2nd and 3rd placed teams face each other in a semi-final. The 5th and 6th placed team face each other in a relegation play-off unless there is a gap of 3 or more points between these teams in which case the 6th placed team is relegated automatically.Meath GAA Regulations 2026 (Version 1, dated 20‑11‑2025)
