The 1917 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 31st staging of the All-Ireland hurling championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1887. The championship began on 24 June 1917 and ended on 28 October 1917.
In the Munster semi-final between Tipperary and Clare, the Clare team walk off midway through the match after a dispute. As Tipperary were winning by a sizable margin at the time they were declared the winners.
Dublin's defeat of Tipperary in the All-Ireland final is their very first championship victory over the premier county. As of 2014 it remains their only championship victory over Tipperary. It was also Dublin's first All-Ireland win since 1889.
