The Offaly Senior Hurling Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the Molloy Environmental Senior Hurling Championship) is an annual hurling competition organised by the Offaly County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1896 for the top hurling teams in the county of Offaly in Ireland.
The series of games are played during the spring, summer and autumn months with the county final currently being played at O'Connor Park in October. The prize for the winning team is the Seán Robbins Cup. Initially played as a knock-out competition, the championship currently features a group stage followed by a knock-out stage.
The Offaly County Championship is an integral part of the wider Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship. The winners of the Offaly county final join the champions of the other hurling counties to contest the provincial championship.
Sixteen teams currently participate in the Offaly County Championship. The title has been won at least once by 12 different teams. The all-time record-holders are Coolderry, who have won a total of 30 titles.
Kilcormac/Killoughey are the title-holders after defeating St. Rynagh's by 2-16 to 1-16 in the 2017 championship final.
Since the beginning, the championship has been dominated by Coolderry, Birr, Drumcullen and St. Rynagh’s. They have won a combined total of 86 of the 119 championship titles. Coolderry dominated the first twenty years of the championship, winning eleven titles between 1889 and 1917. After this initial golden age, Coolderry regularly claimed championship titles in each of the following decades. After making their own breakthrough in 1908, Drumcullen went on to become the team of the decade during the 1920s after winning eight titles between 1918 and 1933. Tullamore and Birr subsequently came to the fore, winning eleven titles between them between 1932 and 1948.
