The Antrim Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Antrim GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Antrim. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Ulster Senior Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship.
The first Antrim hurling championship took place in 1901, and the current (2016) champions are Loughgiel Shamrocks who defeated Ruairí Óg, Cushendall at Páirc Mac Uílín. Loughgiel Shamrocks hold the most wins (20).
Commonly the finals take place at Antrim's county stadium, Casement Park, however due to the grounds ongoing developments the 2013 and 2014 finals were held at Páirc Mac Uílín in Ballycastle. The 2015 final was held at Dunloy's Pearse Park due to McQuillan Ballycastle's appearance in the decider.
