The Munster Senior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Guinness Munster Championship) is the premier "knockout" competition in the game of hurling played in the province of Munster in Ireland. The series of games are organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association and are played during the summer months. The Munster Hurling Final is played in July and is considered one of the biggest and best sporting occasions in Ireland.

Hurling is the most prominent of Gaelic Games in Munster. As such the Munster Hurling Championship is regarded as the most skillful and exciting of all the provincial hurling championships. Two of hurling's most successful teams, Cork and Tipperary, play provincial hurling in Munster.

The Munster Hurling Championship is run on a knock-out basis in which once a team loses they are eliminated from the competition. Five of the six counties of Munster, Clare, Cork, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford, participate in the championship, although Kerry, the sixth county has made an occasional appearance. An open draw is made in which three of these teams automatically qualify for the semi-final stage of the competition. Two other teams play in a "quarter-final" with the winner joining the other three teams at the semi-final stage. Both the winners and runners-up of the "Munster Final" automatically qualify for the quarter-finals of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship series of games. hello!!xxx
