The 2010–11 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 41st staging of Ireland's premier competition at inter-county level for hurling clubs. A total of fifteen teams competed in the championship, with Clarinbridge defeating O'Loughlin Gaels by 2-18 to 0-12 in the final at Croke Park, Dublin. The championship began on 10 October 2010 and concluded on 17 March 2011.
Barring a win for Loughgiel Shamrocks, a new club will be crowned All-Ireland champions on St. Patricks's Day as the remaining participants have never claimed the championship title. The Shamrocks claimed the championship in 1982–83, however, their campaign is expected to end in the All-Ireland semi-final. The dominant teams of the last few years – Ballyhale Shamrocks,Birr,Portumna and Newtownshandrum – were all eliminated in their respective county club championships. Of all the participating clubs both Kilmallock and De La Salle are the only two teams to have ended up as All-Ireland runners-up in the past without claiming the title.
Oulart-the-Ballagh were installed as favourites to bring the title back to Wexford for the first time since Buffer's Alley success in 1988–89. Thurles Sarsfield's and O'Loughlin Gaels were also regarded as potential All-Ireland champions.
The 2010–11 club championship will be played on a provincial basis as usual. It will be a knockout tournament with pairings drawn at random in the respective provinces – there will be no seeds.
