The Limerick Senior Hurling Club Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association club competition between the top Limerick clubs. The winners of the Limerick Championship qualify to represent their county in the Munster Senior Club Hurling Championship, and in turn go on to the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship. Since 1928[1], the winners of the championship are presented with the John Daly cup.
Na Piarsaigh are the current Limerick senior hurling champions, after defeating Ahane by a scoreline of 2-18 to 0-13 in the final at the Gaelic Grounds on October 2, 2011.
