The 1980 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship was the 94th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county hurling tournament. The draw for the 1980 fixtures took place in September 1979. The championship began on 25 May 1980 and ended on 7 September 1980.
Kilkenny were the defending champions but were defeated by Offaly in the Leinster final.Laois re-entered the Leinster Championship, having won the All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship the previous year.
On 7 September 1980, Galway won the championship following a 2-15 to 3-9 defeat of Limerick in the All-Ireland final. This was their second All-Ireland title, their first in fifty-seven championship seasons.
Limerick's Éamonn Cregan was the championship's top scorer with 5-18. Galway's Joe Connolly was the choice for Texaco Hurler of the Year.
After a series of disappointing Munster finals in previous years, the Munster Council took the risk of a repetition and decided to stick with an open draw for the 1980 championship. Similarly, the Leinster Council decided to abandon their policy of seeding Kilkenny and Wexford on opposite sides of the draw in favour of an open draw.
