The 1926 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 40th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament. The championship began on 18 April 1926 and ended on 24 October 1926.
The championship was won by Cork who secured the title following a 4-6 to 2-0 defeat of Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.[1] This was their 8th All-Ireland title.
Tipperary were the defending champions but were defeated by Cork in the Munster final.
Antrim won the Ulster SHC title, but at the suggestion of the Central Council, it was decided that the Ulster winners would enter the All Ireland Junior Hurling Championship.[2]
