The 2002–03 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 33rd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, an inter-county knockout competition for Ireland's top championship clubs representing each county. The championship was won by Birr of Offaly, who beat Dunloy of Antrim by 1–19 to 0–11 in the final.

Contents

Pre-championship

The build-up to the opening of the championship was dominated by Birr and the possibility that they would retain their All-Ireland title and lead the all-time club roll of honour with four championships. Having secured their fourth successive county championship title, Birr were favourites to retain their provincial title for a second year-in-a-row. This would leave them only two wins away from hurling immortality.

Miscellaneous

  • Birr inscribed their names into the GAA's history books by becoming the first club to win four All-Ireland titles.
