The 2017–18 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 48th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament. The competition began on 8 October 2017 and ended on 24 March 2018.
The defending champion was Cuala of Dublin.{{cite web|url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/cuala-secure-historic-allireland-crown-with-emphatic-win-over-ballyea-35541297.html|title=Cuala secure historic All-Ireland crown with emphatic win over Ballyea|date=17 March 2017|publisher=Irish Independent|access-date=22 March 2017}} Liam Mellows of Galway and Dicksboro of Kilkenny returned to the championship after long absences.
Cuala defeated Na Piarsaigh by 2–17 to 1–17 in the final replay on 24 March 2018 to win the competition.{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/hurling/cuala-finish-with-four-late-points-to-finally-see-off-na-piarsaigh-challenge-and-retain-allireland-title-36740558.html|title=Cuala finish with four late points to finally see off Na Piarsaigh challenge and retain All-Ireland title|date=24 March 2017|publisher=Irish Independent|access-date=24 March 2017|first=Conor|last=McKeon}} This was the club's second successive title.

Format
County Championships
Ireland's counties play their county championships between their senior hurling clubs. Each county decides the format for determining their county champions. The format can be knockout, double-elimination, league, etc or a combination.
Only single club teams are allowed to enter the All-Ireland Club championship. If a team which is an amalgamation of two or more clubs or a university team wins a county's championship, a club team will represent that county in the provincial championship as determined by that county's championship rules (normally it is the club team that exited the championship at the highest stage).
Provincial Championships
Leinster, Munster and Ulster organise a provincial championship for their participating county champions. Connacht discontinued their senior club championship after 2007. They do organise intermediate and junior championships and are represented in the All-Ireland senior club semi-finals by the Galway champions. Some counties enter their senior clubs in the All-Ireland intermediate club championship (tier 2) as it is recognised that club hurling is weak in those counties.
All matches are knock-out. Two ten minute periods of extra time are played each way if it's a draw at the end of normal time.
All-Ireland
The two semi-finals are usually played on a Saturday in early February. The All-Ireland Club SHC final is traditionally played at Croke Park on 17 March (St Patrick's Day).
All matches are knock-out. If it's a draw at the end of normal time in the semi-finals or final, two ten minute periods of extra time are played each way. If the score is still level at the end of extra time the match is replayed.

County championships April 2017 to November 2017
