2020 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship

The 2020 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Tipperary County Board in 1887. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 27 January 2020.[1] The championship was scheduled to begin in April 2020, however, it was postponed indefinitely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games. The championship eventually began on 25 July and ended on 20 September 2020.

On 20 September 2020, Kiladangan won the championship after a 1-28 to 3-20 extra-time defeat of Loughmore-Castleiney in the final at Semple Stadium.[5] This was their first ever championship title.[6][7]

Team Changes

The following teams have changed division since the 2019 Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship.

Group Stage

The championship format essentially remained the same with 16 teams being divided into four groups of four teams, however, on 25 June 2020 the management committee of the Tipperary County Board announced the removal of the preliminary quarter-finals and the abolition of a place for a divisional champion in the knock-out stage.[8]
