The 2020 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship (SHC) was the 133rd staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament, since its establishment in 1887. The 2020 fixtures were announced in October 2019. Games were initially scheduled to begin on 9 May 2020. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games, the competition was delayed before beginning on 24 October 2020 and ending on 13 December 2020.

Laois returned to the Leinster Championship for the first time since 2017, replacing Carlow who were relegated in 2019. Tipperary entered the competition as the defending champion, attempting to retain the title for the first time since 1965. Galway eliminated Tipperary with a defeat in the All-Ireland SHC quarter-final.

In the final, held at Croke Park on 13 December 2020, Limerick won the competition with a 0–30 to 0–19 win against Waterford. It was the team's ninth title, as well as a first title since 2018.

Waterford's Stephen Bennett was the competition's top scorer, finishing with 1–54.
