On 25 October 2015, Clara won the championship following a 2-12 to 1-13 defeat of O'Loughlin Gaels. This was their third championship title, their first in two championship seasons.
All but one of the twelve teams from the 2014 championship are participating in the top tier of Kilkenny hurling in 2015.
Mullinavat, who defeated St. Patrick's by 0-17 to 0-14 in the final of the intermediate championship in 2014, availed of their right to automatic promotion to the senior championship.
